Nearly everything about John’s life has been difficult.
John first came to Salem in 1985.
His face was bandaged and he had no memories of his life (viaSoap Central).
He only knew that he was simply being called “The Pawn.”
However, they were shocked when the real Roman (Josh Taylor) came home.
Because he didn’t know his true identity, he assumed the identity of John Black.
The two got married and welcomed a son namedBrady Black, perSoaps in Depth.
They finally started their lives and even welcomed a daughter named Isabella after John’s late first wife.
Colleen’s story was then told through flashbacks in 2008.
Colleen lived in Ireland when she met and fell in love with Stefano’s married father, Santo DiMera.
She then admitted that the DiMera/Brady feud started with her and Santo.
John was stunned, and it seemed that the mystery behind his parentage was finally solved.
Sadly, that wasn’t the case.
The news came as a shock to many.
He currently still doesn’t know anything more about his early years and hasn’t found his biological parents.
Thankfully,John has built a family of his own.
He and Marlena share their daughter Belle, and he’s the father of Brady.
He’s also a grandfather to Belle’s daughter Claire and Brady’s kids, Tate and Rachel.
