With the exception of Bart and Rolf, Petrov is the most well known henchman of Stefano. In comparison to Bart, he mostly succeeded and completed his assignments. Petrov assisted Stefano in a few of his many schemes. When Stefano kidnapped Marlena Evans & Liz Chandler in early 1983, Petrov was the one who kept an eye of them so they would n't escape. He then had small assignments in Stefano 's devilish Salem Slasher plot. When Stefano had to escape after some failures of both himself and André DiMera, Petrov was already in the car. But Roman and Abe were ready as well and chased them. After struggling to shake off the police, and a drunk Alex Marshall caused some problem, the car drove off a bridge and fell down into a river. Alex was found but neither Petrov or Stefano. A few months later, Stefano was seen very much alive looking for the three prisms, and soon Petrov was seen taking orders from Stefano. He kidnapped Hope Williams for Stefano in an attempt to faster lure Roman into Stefano 's trap. He also got instructions from Stefano on how to activate the volcano. After locking up a noisy Shane Donovan, he fulfilled his orders and activated the volcano successfully. In late 1985 - early 1986, Petrov was seen in Miami, representing Stefano in a three - way wager with Victor Kiriakis and corrupt ISA chief George Nickerson, with the stakes being `` the Purse ( provided by Victor, which turned out to be clues to the locations of ( 1 ) a set of stolen U.S. Treasury engravings which were hidden in 1979 in Stockholm, and ( 2 ) a priceless Mayan treasure that could only be located during a specific astronomical event in 1991 ), The Power ( provided by the ISA, a codebook with information that ostensibly gave the holder total immunity from every intelligence and law enforcement network in the world ), and the Pawn ( a `` most formidable and dangerous man '' controlled by Stefano, at the time believed to be the missing - and - presumed - dead Roman Brady but later retconned into the separate character of John Black ). '' In 2015, John Black embarked on an ISA - assisted quest to unravel the mysteries of his heretofore unknown past, including his parentage, once and for all. This coincided with the show 's 50th anniversary. An important scene showed John viewing an ISA computer file on Petrov, which expanded his story to reveal that he was a Cold War - era Soviet agent who defected to the West, and became at one point a teacher at a private school in Vermont called Winterthorne around the time he became one of Stefano 's henchmen. Winterthorne was later revealed to be a `` front '' for a secret training facility for assassins, run by a Far Eastern organization called the Phantom Alliance, which turned out to have been founded in the 1950s by John 's real father, Timothy Robecheaux aka `` Yo Ling ''. Petrov was revealed to have been Yo Ling 's accomplice, and temporarily `` defected '' to Stefano 's organization.

However, Calliope soon came to possess a diamond necklace which was originally owned by Daphne DiMera. She claimed it as her own, but did n't realize that Stefano DiMera was after it, for it contained one of three prisms he was after. Her white lie unknowingly thrust her into a major storyline. Calliope went on to co-host a daytime talk show with Jennifer Horton - Deveraux. The show was a success, but Calliope would eventually turn over the show over to Jennifer and leave town. However, since her departure in 1990, Calliope has visited Salem several times. In 2006, Calliope returned to town as a successful wedding planner.
