Howard, Geese

About this character

Geese is a proud and ambitious man who sees himself as a mighty warrior, driven by a deep hunger for power—be it wealth, dominance, or even immortality. This obsession stems from a tragic childhood marked by the loss of his mother and rejection as a stepson. Vengeful by nature, he holds lasting grudges, notably with Krauser and Jeff, whom he ended up killing out of jealousy. Despite his ruthless image, Geese follows a personal code of honor and refuses to cross certain lines. He respects worthy opponents and never underestimates them, especially after being defeated by Terry. Though ruthless, he rewards loyalty and those he deems worthy, like Billy, whom he sympathizes with. He's not above giving cash bonuses to his entire manpower, should an opportunity arise, as revealed in a character interview in KOFXIV. Geese often picks up hobbies but quickly loses interest—a trait linked to psychopathy and perhaps rooted in his traumatic past and belief in violence as a means of control in the criminal world. He shows a level of respect—albeit sometimes sarcastic—towards Tung Fu Rue, as seen in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum and The King of Fighters XIV. Fascinated by Japanese culture, Geese incorporates it into his surroundings, such as the Japanese decor atop Geese Tower. Though estranged from his family, his distance from his son Rock—especially ignoring Marie’s illness—earned him his son's resentment. Yet Geese shows a rare awareness of this strained bond, acknowledging their bloodline and hinting at a desire for Rock to live free from his criminal legacy, a truth revealed in City of the Wolves. Therefore, his departure from Marie and Rock is not because of neglection, it is to protect them from his enemies who tried to exploit his important privacies. (Source: SNK Wiki)
