DiMera Family History

**The baka, a talisman re-discovered in 1984, belonged to a DiMera ancestor and proved that there was a link between the DiMera family and the Bradford family many generations ago. The Baka was some sort of 300 year-old talisman that supposedly held negative power for the Bradfords and positive power for the DiMeras. The catch was that the Baka would always somehow fall back into the hands of the Bradfords, and they would keep it from being taken by the DiMeras to prevent them from abusing its power. In the late 18th century, a DiMera and a Bradford joined in marriage in order to get by this, but the offspring were still DiMeras so it didn't work out as planned, and all it did was cause more animosity between the two families.
