Geese began learning the arts of Hakkyokuseiken under the teachings of Tung Fu Rue, a very old, but respectable master, who was a skilled and very admired warrior back in his time. Among all the other students, two students brighted more than the others: Geese Howard and Jeff Bogard. While Jeff trained to perfect his skills and to become a true warrior, Geese only wanted the power to crush the world. Being a man with lots of money, Geese felt that physic power will ultimately prevail upon economic power, and that the Hakkyoukuseiken style would bring him true strength. But master Tung, seeing Geese's ambition, and Jeff's dedication, decided to teach the style's secrets to Jeff, rather than Geese. Infuriated by this, Geese vowed to kill both Tung and Jeff. Several days later, Geese accomplished his mission: he killed Jeff in cold blood, and claimed that if he didn't learn the arts of Hakkyokuseiken, nobody would! Laughing, Geese returns back to his tower, symbol of his power, and continues growing his reign of terror and fear over Southtown.

But, Geese felt bored real quick, and out of boredom, created the King of Fighters tournament (which makes Geese the father of the tournament). He proposed fighters around the world to come and challenge him at his turf, and many did so. But Geese had everything under control; with his dirty treats under the water, and with the help of his personal bodyguard, Billy Kane, Geese took care of all those who he considered a "bother" for his plans. Once in a awhile, when Geese felt forgiving, he would face that fighter himself, and that fighter would never come back alive. The truth was, Tung did not want to teach Geese the secrets of Hakkyokuseiken because he was also too powerful to be able to wield the secret techniques without causing a disaster. So passed many years until one year...

The latest King of Fighters tournament was organized, and it was previewed to be better than ever. More fighters gathered this year, but three mainly caught Geese's eye: Terry and Andy Bogard, the two sons of Jeff, ready to exact revenge from Geese, and the Muetai champion, Joe Higashi. Geese did not consider them a threat until they all advanced very far into the tournament. Even Billy was defeated by them, and now Geese was the last opponent left. Geese now faced Terry face to face. Both Andy and Joe were not in conditions to fight against Geese, and were quickly dispatched. Geese and Terry faced off. Geese had more power and experience, but Terry had youth and one thing Geese was lacking: the enjoyment of fighting. While Geese fought for sport, Terry fought for improving his skills. Then, Terry displayed never-before-seen techniques, and with a swift blow, sent Geese flying through the window of his office, located on the top of his tower, and plummeted to his doom. Or so they thought...

Nothing was heard about Geese for awhile, presumed dead. However, in 1996, when the new format of the King of Fighters tournament was in pure consolidation, Geese made a public appearance once again. Sporting one huge scar on his back, and calling himself "the immortal Geese", Geese teamed up with Wolfgang Krauser, German nobles man, and his right-hand man, Mr. Big. These three fighters were considered the biggest threat of the tournament, and most of the warriors were very careful about them. But Geese had other intentions; the same intentions he had by sending Billy into the last tournament: to investigate the Orochi power, and take it over! Geese remained a passive figure at the tournament, until the final matches. Then Geese showed his true power, a much more fearsome and terrible power than before. His strength became bigger and bigger, but something suddenly kicked in: the Orochi power now showed itself in full scale! The messenger of Orochi, Goenitz, had appeared. Geese was dumbfounded, and ran to meet with the power he had seeken for so much time. However, when he arrived, he found Goenitz near death. And then he saw both Kyo and Iori. Geese then grunted, shrugged his shoulders, and considered the Orochi power "useless". However, when Iori entered his Riot of Blood, Geese once again became interested...

The next year, Geese refused to enter the tournament, and once again sent Billy in his place. he also made arrangements for Billy's other two team-mates: one, being Blue Mary. Geese sent a false agent to contract her to keep sight over Yamazaki, the other member, whom Geese promised double the amount of the prize money if he won. Then, Geese ordered Billy to take a look on Iori, whom he considered to be a very powerful Orochi blood member. However, he also sensed something towards Yamazaki, an aura he had never felt before, and had suspicions about it. His suspicions became true, when Billy informed after the tournament that Yamazaki was of Orochi blood! While Geese pondered on this, Yamazaki bashed in, and demanded Geese his pay!

It was unknown who won the riot between Geese and Yamazaki, but Geese has survived worse encounters with death. You can never know where this guy will surface again!

Geese belongs to the old school of evil: he is not interested in world conquest, but in obtaining the highest power possible. Sometimes, Geese even considers himself bored and refuses to enter in more tournaments! He is arrogant, and desires all his enemies to be six feet under. He is constant seek of eternal power: like the scrolls of immortality (this belongs to the Fatal Fury series), and the Orochi power. However, Geese is always undercover, and the next time he surfaces, it will not be pretty!
