Geese Howard [Retired]

I run Southtown... I like to watch over my city... My Left-Hand man Mr. BIG is the one that takes charge of my tournaments, he has my support! My son, Rock Howard claims to be a good guy. If only he knew the powers in him can only cause destruction, ha! There's only one person I trust with my whole life... That man happens to be my Right-Hand man, Billy Kane.

I'd like to meet:

There is a Shinkiro illustration said to have been made for a novel about Geese's youth where he's shown as a younger bare-chested man with hair much shorter than he had in AoF2, also featuring younger versions of characters like Jubei Yamada and Tung Fu Rue, as well as modern-day portraits of the Bogard brothers and Joe Higashi - however, most intriguing of all was the large background image of a nun, which one may speculate to be Geese's mother. When he was old enough Geese began training in the school of Hakkyokuseiken with Jeff Bogard, but Master Tung Fu Rue passed him over and taught Jeff the secrets of the style. This angered Geese, as ever since Tung Fu Rue declared Jeff the favorite, Geese swore revenge against Jeff. Geese had other martial arts teachers over the course of his life, which apparently included "Blue" Mary Ryan's grandfather and Toji Sakata from Fatal Fury Wild Ambition.Art of Fighting Geese rose to the top in an unusual way. During the Art of Fighting series, Geese gained power as a kingpin of crime. First, he made good on his threats against the Sakazakis, since Takuma stood in his way. Geese forced Takuma to cooperate at all costs or suffer the consequences. Takuma did not like the idea of serving Geese Howard so when he was ordered to kill Jeff Bogard, Takuma refused. Geese kidnapped Yuri Sakazaki and had Mr. Big supervise Takuma to prevent Takuma from disobeying Geese. Mr. Big then ordered Takuma to fight his own son, Ryo Sakazaki. Ryo's anger almost had Takuma killed, but Yuri came unscathed, told Ryo not to do so, and revealed that both Ryo and Takuma were tricked into fighting each other.Takuma resigned from Geese's ranks and swore revenge against Geese by doing the unusual. Takuma had to train Yuri as a vehicle for his revenge against Geese for disgracing the honor of Kyokugenryu Karate. During Art of Fighting 2, the Sakazakis (and Robert Garcia) managed to defeat Geese. Geese then evaded the Haoushoukouken deathblow attempted by Ryo and later attacked and killed Jeff in unarmed combat, which was witnessed by Terry, as seen in the Fatal Fury Wild Ambition intro sequenceFatal Fury In his rise to the top, Geese obtained the services of Billy Kane as his personal bodyguard (he's known to have two others, Ripper and Hopper, although they don't actually fight in the games), and set Billy up as the champion when Geese organized the first King of Fighters tournament in a fit of boredom.In 1991, three new contestants entered Geese's tournament: Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Andy's friend Joe Higashi. Very few people defeated Billy, but Terry did just that, and earned the right to fight Geese himself. They battled in Geese Tower, and Terry managed to defeat him. The original Fatal Fury game showed Geese the loser of that fight falling from the top of the building, but later this was retconned in fatal Fury Wild Ambition into an almost fatal beating, explaining why Geese was still alive in later games, and yet was taken for dead by many until Fatal Fury 3.Fatal Fury SpecialGeese was the penultimate of the five bosses, preceded by Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, and Lawrence Blood, and followed by Fatal Fury 2's chief antagonist, Wolfgang Krauser. The events of Fatal Fury Special are not considered canon to the series' storyline; Geese was still widely believed to be dead. Fatal Fury 3 After Fatal Fury 2, Geese keeps a low profile for a while, even during the main Fatal Fury 3 tournament, but comes back in the very end, to steal the Sacred Scrolls of Immortality from the Jin twins.The King of Fighters '96 Geese always seems to be alive and well in this series, and this is one of the major points counting toward the theory that this is a separate timeline. Anyway, Geese returned to the world's attention when he entered the 1996 King of Fighters tournament, with his underling Mr. Big and brother Wolfgang Krauser. His plan to learn about the power of Orochi failed, and he survived an assassination attempt by Mr. Big (with Billy's timely intervention), and Geese returned to Southtown.The King of Fighters '97 The next year, he sent a team to the King of Fighters, consisting of Billy Kane, Blue Mary, and Ryuji Yamazaki in order to find more about Orochi and its power - Billy was meant to keep an eye on Iori Yagami, while Mary was to check on Yamazaki, as both subjects of observation were suspected to be a part of the bloodline. Again, he failed to gain the power of Orochi.Real Bout Fatal Fury Geese then encountered Terry again, and they fought on Geese Tower's observation deck (decorated as a Japanese shrine). Terry knocked Geese through the wooden guardrail, and grabbed him as he fell. Geese released himself from Terry's grasp, and allowed himself to fall to his death. Seeing how the events of that game were closely related to the Jin scrolls, which apparently had something to do with the power of immortality, and Geese was in possession of them, it may be reasonable to assume that Geese preferred to test their effectiveness than to live with the shame of being saved by his enemy, especially considering his grin at the time.Geese's story in this game has him facing a mysterious imposter known only as Shadow, who resembles Geese except that ShadowReal Bout Fatal Fury Special Geese appeared in RBS as a hidden character with all his moves increased to awesome power, and few lines of story - this incarnation is referred to as "Nightmare Geese".Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 Geese is selectable in this game, and you face him as a boss character if you do well during the game. If you finish that game was him, you'll see him being escorted by his bodyguards to a chair, from which he promptly disappears, leaving the Jin scrolls in his place.Garou: Mark of the Wolves Geese is survived by his son Rock Howard, whom Terry has trained for some time. The host of the tournament, Kain R. Heinlein is Marie Heinlein's (Geese's lover) brother.The King of Fighters 2003 Even though Geese is known to be dead in the Fatal Fury series, he is alive in the King of Fighters 2003 tournament as the sponsor of the Outlaw team (having Gato, Billy and Yamazaki). It is even more mysterious that Billy was not a bit surprised by Geese's presence in the Outlaw team's story, as if Geese has not been killed. This has led to doubts on whether the KOF storyline is concurrent with the Fatal Fury storyline (i.e. in the same universe).KoF: Maximum Impact 2 (The King of Fighters 2006) Geese is selectable in this game as a hidden character, and his is know as Nightmare Geese as his 1st selectable gear is his ghost form and his 2nd one is his Zombie form.
