Kiriakis family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kiriakis family is an upper class Greek-American family living in the town of Salem on the NBC soap opera Days of our Lives. The equally wealthiest and most powerful family in Salem, the Kiriakis' are led by patriarch Victor Kiriakis, the CEO of Titan Industries, the town's biggest corporation. In addition to Victor prominent members include his sons Bo and Philip, as well as his grandsons Brady and Shawn. Although still heavily distrusted by most of the town, the Kiriakis family is a far more respected and legitimate family than the rival and equally wealthy/powerful DiMeras.

The Kiriakis family's history is somewhat clouded, as Victor has hinted over the years that although at one point the clan was powerful in its native Greece, Victor himself grew up in more modest circumstances, and is more or less a self-made man. During Victor's "gangster" heyday in the mid-to-late 1980s, and including a storyline involving Victor's return to his home village of Nafplion, Greece, it was also insinuated that the family was something akin to a Greek version of a Sicilian-style Mafia clan (indeed, Victor revealed at one point that his own father and brother were murdered by a rival family in a gangland car bombing).
