Backstory (Fenix's Summary)
The immortal villian of the KoF universe. He and his mother were disowned early on by his birth father. After her death, he swore vengeance, but was put in his place by his half-brother Wolfgang Krauser. He pursued several underground avenues in Europe to gain power, ultimately ending up under Mr. Big in America. He has a wealth of ambition for greatness, and has fought up from nothing to achieve his goals. He has his sights set most specificaly on the dominion of Southtown, and ultimately, the world.

Tournament Participation
Art of Fighting 1:Though he did not participate, Geese was defeated by Takuma Sakazaki when he revolted from Mr. Big's Organization.
Art of Fighting 2:Geese takes Big's place as criminal figurehead in Southtown. He orchestrates the first KoF tournament, to draw the Kyokugenryu to him so he can defeat them. Fought a one on one duel with Ryo Sakazaki but was ultimately defeated.
Fatal Fury 1:After his defeat by Ryo, he vanished, only to return some time later. Confident in his power, he holds another King of Fighters tournament. Terry Bogard challenges Geese in the finals, and knocks him off the top floor of his tower. Though he survived, he was mortally wounded and again retreated into the shadows.
Fatal Fury 2:Though he did not participate, he sent Billy Kane under false allegiance to his brother to steal the second Hakkyokuseiken scroll. (*)
Fatal Fury 3:Revitalized by the second scroll, he challenges, defeats, and takes the third Hakkyokuseiken scroll from Ryuji Yamazaki.
KoF '96:Recruits Big, and Krauser and forms the "Boss" team. Big attempts to double cross and assasinate him, but he is saved by Billy. (*)
KoF '97:Sends Billy to recruit both Yamazaki, and Blue Mary to investigate the Orochi revival.
Real Bout Fatal Fury:Having mastered the scrolls, he holds another Southtown fighting tournament to bring together all his enemies and destroy them. Terry Bogard again faces him in the finals. Hindered by his original injury (*), Terry defeats him and knocks Geese off the towers again. Though he was willing to save his life, Geese refused Terry's pity and plummeted to his death.
Current Status:Dead.

Other Facts and Information
Though he was defeated, Geese (at the time of AoF1) was the only man strong enough to defend against Takuma's Haohshokoken technique. (*)
Geese almost won his bout with Ryo Sakazaki, but was defeated when Ryo unleashed the Ryoku Ranbu. Geese had developed his own version of the Ryoku Ranbu (The Deadly Rave) after seeing it used on Mr. Karate, and wanted to test it against the Ryoku Ranbu, and thus gave Ryo the opportunity. Unfortunately, it was his downfall.
Geese stole the first Hakkyokuseiken scroll from Tung Fu Rue between AoF2 and FF1. After his defeat by Ryo, he trained under Tung with Jeff Bogard. Jeff was the superior student, and was chosen to inherit the scroll. Geese murdered Jeff, and stole the scroll anyways. Once he had acquired all three of the Hakkyokuseiken scrolls and mastered them, he burned them, destroying their secrets forever.
UNCONFIRMED: Rumor has it that Geese adopted and trained Billy as a child, as an explanation for the loyalty. (*)
Geese had a wife, and by her, he had a son named Rock Howard. His wife kept Rock out of his affairs, but when she died, Rock sought him out just in time to find out he was dead. He learned all the evil things his father did through Terry's teachings, and hates his father's influence in him.
