'''Paige''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. Citizens of Manhattan will learn to appreciate the power of the written word when Paige joins the fight.

Fantasy becomes reality with Rallying Charge, summoning an entire cavalry to gallop across the city. | '''Paige''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''.
