Early Life[]
- "Dad, you are lost in a fog. The diner has been failing for years, and you won't admit it. You keep clinging to it, 'cause you think Mom's gonna find her way back somehow."
- ―Karen Page[src]
Paxton Page and Penelope Page lived in Fagan Corners, Vermont, where they raised their two children Karen and Kevin. While Page and his wife were religious people,[1] their daughter did not follow these values. Following the accidental death of Kevin in a car accident at the age of sixteen which was covered up by Sheriff Bernie Cohen, Paxton told Karen to leave Fagan Corners, as he didn't want Karen around. While Paxton saw the departure of Karen to New York City, Penny's Place was closed until further notice.[2]
Contacted by Karen[]
- "Dad, I was just trying to do the right thing. It just... It went all wrong."
"That's what you do, Karen." - ―Karen Page and Paxton Page[src]
Following the Attack on the New York Bulletin Building, Karen called up her father, who was relieved that she was not dead. When Karen asked if she could come home for a while, Paxton stated that now was not the time for that.[3]
Personality[]
While a loving father, Paxton was overconfident, stubborn, and seemingly financially irresponsible, being unwilling to let go of the restaurant diner he started with his wife. After the death of his son, Kevin, due to Karen's irresponsible actions, this put a strain in their relationship. Even years later, while happy she survived the attack on the Bulletin, Paxton was still unwilling to let her return home.
