Relationships

 * Lillith: Paxton met Lillith in year four when they started school.  Paxton was drawn to Lillith's gentleness, and he decided at age eight that he was going to marry her.  Unsure how to confess his feelings for her, Paxton let Lillith leave Eden when she developed Tainted abilities.  He had already decided to request permission to join Alkwin himself when he learned that Lillith had never made it out of Eden.  Joining Leeya, he helped to rescue Lillith and carried her out of the city.  They helped each other deal with the events they went through, and were married a year after the war.
 * Leeya: Leeya is like a sister to Paxton.  They have been best friends since year four.  Othman didn't approve of the influence Leeya had on Paxton.  When Paxton was struggling with his section selections, he confided in Leeya.  She gave him the push he needed to follow a path other than the one his father had been laying out for him.
 * Othman: Othman was a very strict parent. He had a plan for Paxton, and not even Paxton's desires would get in the way of that.  Othman saw Paxton more as a protege than a son.  In discovering that Paxton was assisting Lillith and Leeya in escaping Eden, he arranged for Lillith to be captured, assuming it would result in her death.  Paxton didn't learn of his father's role until after his arrest.  Othman disowned his son after learning he had gained Tainted abilities.  Despite this, Paxton still visits him to share major events or announcements.  It helps to ease some of the lingering aggression after the events of the war.
