Geese Howard

==History==
Geese Howard was the son of an Austrian martial artist and terrorist and a poor American mother from the city of South Town. Much to his and her mother's dismay, his father reluctantly married into the prestigious European bloodline of the Stroheims. Because of this, his mother grew heartbroken and eventually passed away in poor health and malnutrition. Angered with such a loss, the young Geese sought out his father with the intent to kill him, but his half-brother, Wolfgang Krauser, beat him within an inch of his life.
After the incident, Geese became desperate to become stronger, so he turned to martial arts, becoming a student under the master Tung Fu Rue, alongside Jeff Bogard. However, Tung has sensed Geese's evil intentions, deciding to not teach him all the secrets of his technique, teaching them to Jeff instead. Geese left Tung's tutelage and, later, murdered Jeff out of jealousy. It was then that he abandoned his dreams and pursued nothing but power, founding the Howard Connection and becoming the top crime lord of South Town. Later, Geese created The King of Fighters tournament, in order to recruit new members to his organization and remove any possible threats, including the likes of his former rival's son, Terry Bogard.
