Orpheus was a former ISA agent and marksmen. He was trained and disciplined by the ISA along side Roman Brady. He was Roman Brady's former ISA partner. Despite the life he was in he was still able to find true love and get married to a woman named Rebecca and have two children with her, a boy named Christian and a girl named Zoey. In 1979, he and Roman were out on an ISA Mission against the KGB when things went wrong. Orpheus's wife, Rebecca came to where Roman and Orpheus were to try and warn them about a KGB ambush. Gunfire was all around. Roman heard footsteps. He called out for the person to identify themselves and when nothing came, he fired in the direction of the footsteps, thinking it was an approaching KGB agent. To Roman's horror, he had accidentally shot and killed Orpheus's wife, Rebecca and left his children without a mother. Orpheus then resigned from the ISA and started planning his revenge on Roman Brady for what he felt was the deliberate, cold-blooded killing by Roman of his wife.
Decades later, Orpheus became a grandfather through his daughter Zoey to a little boy. However, his children didn't want anything to do with him because of his crimes so he couldn't be near his grandchild. In 2018, Orpheus once again became a grandfather when his grandson David was born, through his son Christian and his ex-lover, Jordan Ridgeway (the step-daughter of Clyde Weston, a former prison associate). Orpheus isn't a homophobic as he has no issues with his son being bisexual.
Orpheus has made sporadic appearances since 2016. He became closely associated with Clyde where they escaped prison and he was ultimately presumed dead. In 2020, Orpheus returned alongside his son Christian and daughter Zoey. Orpheus and Christian were essentially partners in crime, but he and Zoey had a strained relationship as Zoey resented her father for Christian turning out like him. It got even worse when Zoey failed to defend Christian and he was sent to prison. Zoey ultimately betrayed Orpheus, leading him to physical attack and threaten her.
Orpheus was sent back to prison and from time to time, Orpheus has remained a constant threat to the people of Salem.
