Geese was born in the year 1953 in Germany, the elder child of Rudolph Howard.

Rudolph later married into the Krauser clan and became the 33rd clan master; consequently, he disowned his earlier family ties. His first wife (Geese's mother) died soon after the ordeal enraging the young Geese. He later made an assasination attempt on his father; however, he was beaten up by his half-brother Wolfgang and left to wallow in his defeat. He then swore a blood oath on the both of them...He then drifted around Europe.

When he was about sixteen, he took up services under an influential mafia boss in Italy.There he came to know a certain Gianni Nordii who is a master of oriental martial arts and took up apprenticeship under him.
I believe this is the basis of his martial arts skills. Gianni is actually an agent of Mr. Big, the boss of the one of the largest crime syndicates in the world, throughout, this syndicate is simply refered to as the "Organization". Geese, being the evil genius he is, later repays Gianni by killing him and takes his placein the Organization as one of the deputies.

In about 1978 or so, Mr.Big tries to take over the city Southtown in southern USA. At that time the strongest fighter within the Organization is a "Mr. Karate" who is showing dissent and wants to leave. Big kidnaps Yuri Sakazaki (who he is convinced is Mr.Karate's daughter) and forces Mr.Karate to go eliminate the opposition together with Geese. Geese tries to manipulate Mr.Karate into doing his bidding; when Yuri later escapes,

Mr. Karate rebels against the organization and fights Geese. Geese knows that Mr. Karate is, in fact Takuma Sakazaki founder of the Kyokugenryu karate sect. Geese is no match for him and is forced to flee for the first time in his life; but to his credit, he manages to deflect Mr.Karate's previously invincible "Haoh Shoko Ken" move.As Mr.Big is later also defeated by Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia, the Organization's plan to take over Southtown ends. Big disappears from the scene for a while, and with him gone, Geese becomes the head honcho of the Organiation. Basically, this is the background story of Art of Fighting.

In less than a year, Geese craftily builds up the Organization to extend its economic and political influence over Southtown. His base is this building "Geese Tower" (which is the final and hidden stage in Art of Fighting 2); he also takes great effort to conceal his movements and is simply refered to as the "President". His skills as a fighter also seem to have grown tremendously; ever since his bout with Takuma, he has developed an innate interest of Oriental martial arts, especially ancient Japanese fighting styles. His newfound martial art prowess is displayed when Eiji Kisaraghi is defeated by him in a single stroke.Although his position as master of southtown is undisputed, Geese knows that the Kyokugenryu sect remains the only threat to him, so he organizes the first of his famous "King of Fighters" tournaments, which of course he invites the Kyokugenryu sect to participate. Many battles ensue, but naturally, the main man of Art of Fighting, Ryo Sakazaki, makes it through to the end.

Geese has expected this and has an ulterior motive; he wants to learn Kyokugenryu Karate's deadliest move "Ryuko Ranbu"(which Ryo used to take out Mr.Big and his father Takuma in AoF) and only Ryo can execute it. Before this can take place though, Mr. Big launches a revolt against Geese. Only then do we see how much Geese's skills have improved; Mr.Big is completely powerless before the man and flees. Ryo then challenges Geese. As expected, Ryo is also badly defeated. However, Geese makes a rare mistake, and underestimates Ryo, who finally executes Ryuko Ranbu and sends Geese flying (Geese's own version of Ryuko Ranbu "Deadly Rave" proves to be no match for the real thing...) Geese flees to Japan where he swears to return. He figures that he's still not invincible and decides to spend more time in apprenticeship, where he'd fully explore the ancient martial art forms.

He takes up tutelge under Tung FuRue, who is the master of the "HakkyoseiKen", and founder of a school of martial arts. Geese then learns that "Hakkyosei Ken" is actually a skill recorded within the Sacred Scrolls, ancient manuals of power. One of the scrolls is in the possession of Tung, another is with Krauser, and the last is unknown. Anyway, as Tung is getting old, the chief of the school is up for grabs; and Geese's chief competitior is Jeff Bogard, his senior and prehaps the only person as talented as he is. When Tung decides impart the secrets of Hakkyosei Ken to Jeff, Geese kills Jeff in front of the latter's adopted sons Terry and Andy. Later, Geese also confronts Tung and in true legendary
fashion, defeats the old man and steals Tung's sacred scroll.

Afterwards, Geese returns to Southtown where he rebuilds the Organization. This time, his rule is undisputed and the whole town comes under his influence and manipulation. He also adopts a child Billy Kane and the later becomes one of his chief cronies and confidants.

Ten years later, Jeff's adopted sons, Terry Bogard and Andy Bogard (and their underwear wearing friend Joe) turn up to participate in Geese's King of Fighters tournament, now some sort of annual event which has become a method of eliminating opposition to his rule as well as cashing in on illegal bets. In soap opera style, Terry falls in love with Geese's adopted daughter Rily. Geese kills Rily upon discovering this, and of course Terry goes into a rage. Andy and Joe challenge Geese and gets walloped. Terry, however, gets last minute instruction
from Tung, learning Hakkyosei Ken and fights Geese in a showdown. Although all of Terry's moves appear to be useless against Geese, his HakkyoseiKen turns the tide and defeats Geese...

Geese is severly injured and is recuperating when his half-brother Wolfgang Krauser comes spoiling for a fight. Geese, crafty as usual, figures he can eliminate both his archenemies at once, so he tells Krauser that even he (Krauser) cannot beat Terry Bogard. Krauser then sets out to find Terry. As in the story of Fatal Fury 2, Krauser
is later defeated by Terry, and his copy of the Sacred Scroll falls into the hands of Billy Kane who promptly delivers it back to his boss. Krauser's copy of the Sacred Scroll contains secret arts fo rejuvenation; upon mastering it, Geese is fully healed and his powers boosted to higher degrees.

Later, a man named Ryuji Yamazaki from HongKong comes looking for Geese. Yamazaki has the last copy of the Sacred Scroll and is looking for the other 2 copies which will complete the manual and reveal the secret of some unspeakable power. Geese fights Yamazaki and this time, even the man himself is hard pressed, for Yamazki has already mastered some of the arts contained within the Sacred Scroll. However, Yamazaki proves to be no match once again, and is finally defeated and all the scrolls come to the possession of Geese.

Geese then believes that he is ready to rid his enemies once and for all. He organizes his last tournament (which is Realbout FF) where anybody with a score to settle with him all participate. Naturally, Terry Bogard defeats all his opponents for the right to showdown with Geese once more. Sadly, according to SNK, Geese is defeated once again and falls from the top story of Geese Tower, but at least he is dignified and refuses to let Terry save him (ending scene of RBFF).

So is the man truly dead..?
