Karen Page

"I don't see the city anymore. There's only dark corners."

- Karen Page

Karen Page is the secretary for Nelson and Murdock and, along with Foggy Nelson and Matt Murdock was instrumental in the effort to bring Wilson Fisk to justice.

Union Allied Construction
Karen Page worked as a secretary in Union Allied Construction with Daniel Fisher. Finding it hard to meet people in New York City, Page asked Fisher out for drinks at a nearby bar, where they had a couple of drinks.

Page awakened to find herself in her apartment covered in Fisher's blood.

Arrested
"I didn't do this! I didn't do this!"

- Karen Page

Page had a bloody knife in her hand and was next to the body of Daniel Fisher when police kicked in her apartment door and arrested her. Foggy Nelson got a phone call from Officer Brett Mahoney to investigate as he and Matt Murdock were unpacking their things in the newly acquired office of Nelson and Murdock. Murdock and Nelson arrived to represent their first client who could not believe they were new to practicing law and came without her calling. She conveyed the story of how she was arrested to the lawyers, knowing that it sounded far-fetched; however, Murdock believed Page and offered to represent her, despite Nelson's protests about her not having money and being the only suspect.

Later that day, Page slept in her cell as Officer Clyde Farnum tried to kill her by wrapping a bedsheet around her throat. Freeing herself by scratching his eyes, Page screamed until help arrived.

Page was released to the custody of Murdock and Nelson. She told the lawyers how she obtained the financial records and her confrontation with her boss. Crying because she was responsible for the death of Fisher and fearing for her life, Page wanted to return to her apartment, but Murdock offered his apartment for her to spend the night. At Matt Murdock's Apartment, Page was given a change of clothes and a beverage, while she learned that Murdock was blinded since he was nine and missed his sight. Murdock asked her why she was not killed in her apartment, unless she had something of value; she lied, saying that she did not have a copy of the financial report. Later, thinking Murdock was asleep, Page left to return to her own residence.

Inside a vent in the bathroom, Page grabbed the flashdrive holding the report, but she was ambushed by a thug who rammed her into a wall. After procuring the flashdrive, he approached Page to kill her with his knife when a masked man began a fight with him. Page watched as the fight became so intense that the two fell from a window to the street below. Ultimately, the masked man won the fight and got the flashdrive, promising to take it to the proper hands; Page told him not to trust anyone, so the masked man said that he would release the information to everyone. The next morning, there was a story in the New York Bulletin. Page cooked Nelson and Murdock a meal to thank them for their assistance, noting that Murdock believed her story. She then offered to work in Nelson and Murdock for free.

Afraid of the City
Days later, Page stayed late at Nelson and Murdock unpacking when she heard Foggy Nelson singing horribly. She let him know that she was there so he stopped. They decided to go out for drinks. Arriving at Josie's Bar and having a drink, Page was convinced to discuss why she did not want to go home; for days, she has attempted to get Daniel Fisher's blood out her carpet and cannot. She said that lately, all she can see are the threats and dangers around her. Nelson showed her that though the patrons in Josie's Bar looked tough, at heart, they were good people trying to relax.

Drunk, Nelson and Page went to Matt Murdock's Apartment to get him to accompany them in their fun, waking one of Murdock's neighbors. They left when they realized that he was not home.

Non-disclosure
The next morning, Page was in the office and received a letter from Union Allied Construction; she quickly hid it when Foggy Nelson arrived, still reeling from the night before. They were discussing that Page agreed to work for free when Matt Murdock entered with scars on his face. Page asked Murdock how he received the scars, but Murdock lied, saying he had a minor accident.

A knock on the door was heard; Page was so surprised that Murdock had to remind her that it was her job to answer it. The suited man would not give his name but revealed that he worked for a conglomerate that wanted to hire the lawyers. Murdock was suspicious of the man and told him that they wanted a certain type of clientele; the suited man asked if all his clients worked for them after escaping murder charges. Knowing he was referring to her, Page felt embarrassed; she was asked to leave the meeting so the men could talk more candidly.

Page met with a lawyer representing Union Allied Construction. He insisted on having her sign a non-disclosure agreement and accept six months of pay not to discuss what happened with Daniel Fisher; Page felt insulted and refused to sign.

When she returned to the law office, Murdock asked her to research the background of the suited man; she learned that it was a dummy company.

Later, Page went to the house of Jennifer Fisher to give her condolences on the death of her husband. Fisher wanted to be left alone to raise her children in peace. Page learned that Fisher signed the non-disclosure agreement because she needed the money. However, both women agreed that there was something wrong with Union Allied Construction.

Going to the office of Ben Urich in the New York Bulletin newspaper, Page solicited his help in researching the company.

Coffee with Urich
"You don't understand how lucky you are; count the angels on the head of a pin and move on."

- Ben Urich

A few days later, Page and Ben Urich met in a cafe; she bought him a cup of coffe as they discussed Union Allied Construction. Urich told her that because of her past, he was skeptical about accepting her story. Page told him that she grew up admiring the newspaper articles he wrote which brought down organized crime and wanted to know if he was that same man; he told her he was not.

Page went to an auction that had merchandise from Union Allied Construction; she started to sketch profiles of those who participated. Urich, who found her there, warned her that that was a bad idea and to stop. He suggested that she bid on something at the auction to remove suspicion.

She later met Urich in a diner. He told her that he would help her but, describing to her people who were killed whom he had helped, she must be discrete in their meetings. He then told her to sign the non-disclosure agreement; she decided to use that money to pay for the office supplies she bought at the auction.

Impromptu Date
"Look, you do me, then I'll do you."

- Karen Page to Foggy Nelson

Elena Cardenas came to the office one morning as Page and Foggy Nelson attempted to get the office equipment Page had bought to work. Cardenas spoke a mixture of Spanish and broken English; Page helped Nelson to understand Cardenas' dilemma. She was being forced from her rent-controlled apartment building by her landlord Armand Tully who was being represented by the law firm of Landman and Zack.

Page and Nelson went to the Landman and Zack Law Building and saw Marci Stahl, the lawyer representing Tully and Nelson's ex-girlfriend. Page witnessed as the two lawyers debated about the case. Nelson won the debate by being confident in his own skills as a lawyer; Page witnessed as Stahl complimented Nelson, wishing that they remained together as both co-workers and lovers.

Page then accompanied Nelson to the apartment of Cardenas. They saw the results of Tully's men who had destroyed the place, calling it renovation, in hopes of making Cardenas leave. Page and Nelson decided to do home repairs.

After fixing the water, Cardenas asked Nelson and Page to stay for dinner; Cardenas quickly left the two alone and Page laughed as she realized that Cardenas was playing matchmaker. As the two ate dinner, Nelson and Page discussed his past with Matt Murdock in college and his relationship with Stahl. When the conversation turned to how Murdoch perceived Page, Page asked Nelson to close his eyes, feel her face, and describe the feeling. Suddenly, an explosion rocked the apartment, blasting the two to the floor. Page was left in the apartment with Cardenas as Nelson went to see if others needed assistance.
