MCU: KAREN PAGE

High Level Character Description

Karen Page is the secretary/office manager/legal assistant for the law offices of Nelson & Murdock and later, an investigative reporter for the New York Bulletin. Page’s crusade to do good came about when she was nearly murdered by an associate of Wilson Fisk, but saved by Daredevil at the last minute. When she discovers that her employer is the blind vigilante, her romantic feelings for and trust in Matt Murdock are severely tested.

Castle came to trust Karen and even saved her once from the insane veteran Lewis Wilson. Her association with such a wanted man leads Karen to be brought in for questioning by the Department of Homeland Security.

Character Foes

As mentioned above, Karen has a nasty habit for digging where she shouldn’t. She’s avoided being murdered several times, especially when she began looking into Fisk with Foggy and Urich respectively. However, when she sets her mind to something, she gets it done, even if that means making a few enemies along the way.

This definitely scares her at first, but the fright soon turns into indignation and determination for truth and justice.

They want the problem of Castle swept under the rug, as they push for the death penalty.
