==Biography==
===Enduring Wife and a Loving Mother===
Marlene Fisk lived in Hell's Kitchen with her husband Bill and their son Wilson. Markene was a loving mother and very protective of Wilson, being concerned of Bill mistreating their son. When Bill was running his campaign for the City Council, Marlene was checking through their bills and asked Bill how is he paying for all of that. Bill explained her that he took a loan but since bank would not consider his application, he got the money from Don Rigoletto. Marlene expressed her concern that Bill got mixed with the mobsters but Bill told Marlene that she does not know anything and once Bill joins the Council, it will no longer be a problem.
Bill, however, lost the election and Wilson returned home being beaten up by Bernie Walker, who was breaking Bill's campaign signs. Marlene comforted Wilson by giving him some Zuppa Inglese and when Wilson asked her was Walker right, Marlene told him not to listen to people like him. They were then joined by Bill who took a Zuppa from Wilson and demanded him to explain what happened, although Marlene tried to calm him, Bill refused to listen to her. Wilson told him how Walker was knocking down Bill's campaign signs and insulting him and when Wilson tried to stop him, he was beaten up. Bill then told Wilson to come with him and meet Walker, and although Marlene was concerned, she could not stop her husband.Daredevil: 1.08: Shadows in the Glass
===Bill's Death===
One day, Bill told Wilson to sit in front of a wall and went to speak with Don Rigoletto about the loan. Marlene asked Bill why is he leaving that late at night but Bill said that Rigoletto cannot wait until tomorrow. Marlene got worried that situation with his loan had gotten worse and although Bill said that she should not be worrying herself, it did not stop Marlene. She continued to berate Bill for being reckless and getting himself in his family into problems but Bill suddenly lost his temper and slapped Marlene across her face.
When she fell on the floor, Bill started hitting her with his belt, screaming how she does not respect him and ignoring her pleas to stop. Suddenly, Wilson grabbed a hammer and after hesitating a bit, he hit his father across the head and continued beating until Bill died. Marlene embraced Wilson, telling him that everything will be okay and being secretly proud of him that he saved her from Bill. Looking at Bill's lifeless body, Marlene told Wilson to get her the saw, before she undressed Bill, gave Wilson his cufflinks and proceeded to dismember Bill's body. Marlene and Wilson carried the parts of his body and dumped it into the river over the whole week, while Rigoletto assumed that he skipped town to not pay the loan.

Marlene kept the hammer that Wilson used to murder Bill as a memento.Daredevil: 3.06: The Devil You Know She decided that Wilson needed some time away from New York City, so she sent him to a farm to live with relatives. She then married a man named Martin, whom she found beautiful, but the relationship did not last as she realized he was attracted to men.

Vistain asked if Page and Urich were married but Urich said that although he had a wife, he and Page were not together.

Page asked Vistain about her children and Vistain told her and Page about Wilson who frequently visits her.

===Forced to Leave===
As the danger was coming close, Wilson Fisk decided to relocate his mother from Saint Bénézet Retirement Care away from New York City. Driving in his limousine, Fisk explained to Vistain that Saint Bénézet was not safe enough and there were people who were threatening him. Vistain said that she liked living in Saint Bénézet, as they would brought her Zuppa Inglese every night, but Fisk told her that she can get the real Zuppa in Italy. Vistain then said that she does not know Italian and cannot watch TV but Fisk promised her to sort it out. Fisk then tried asking her about the last conversation with James Wesley but Vistain struggled to recall anything.Daredevil: 1.12: The Ones We Leave Behind
