The Page is a passive exploitation class. They start off slow, usually lacking a lot in the way of their aspect, such as Tavros being very indecisive or Jake living in constant fear of the monsters outside his house. Another way to look at it is that they start with all of the negatives their aspects (for Tavros, it was indecisiveness, for Jake, it was lack of determination or ability to make up his mind, for Horuss, he was constantly unfortunate and never had enough information to go off of) and it is not until later they get enough and know how to use it in a productive manner. However, when they do, it can be astounding. They can inspire those around them to use their aspect for good and even give them some if they need it. When a Page is done, they have raised and army, an army who knows how to use their aspect and charge into battle. An army of Knights.
The Page is a hard class to spec on, because we have never seen an example of a fully realized Page. Thus, most of this is inference off of passive exploitation as well as mythological roots. The Page class is most likely based off of King Arthur, who spent his early years as a page to his older brother and believed that is all he would ever amount to. Plus, the Page gives others weapons so that they can use them, creating the image and idea of someone who gives people something and helps them use it. The opposite of a Page is Thief, who takes things away instead of helping people use them, and the active counterpart is Knight, who would rather use what they have at their disposal to help people rather than teach or inspire them.
