According to his official biography, Geese was born January 21, 1953. He stood 1.83 m (6 ft) tall and weighed 82 kg (180 lb). His blood was type B. He had no hobbies, as he tired of things quickly. His favourite food was red fried steak. He had no favourite sports, and considered himself his most important thing.

Geese Howard trained in the school of Hakkyokusaken with Jeff Bogard, but Master Tung Fu Rue passed him over and taught Jeff the secrets of the style. Geese swore revenge, and many years later, had Jeff gunned down in a drive-by shooting, in front of Jeff's adopted sons, Terry and Andy.

In his rise to the top, Geese Howard obtained the services of Billy Kane as his personal bodyguard, and set Billy up as the champion when Geese organized the first King of Fighters tournament in a fit of boredom.

In 1992, 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 with a blow that knocked him through a plate glass window on one of the upper floors.

Goose Howard was declared dead, but he survived the fall. Theories range from throwing rapid Shippu-Ken energy blasts to slow his descent, to using his hakama pants as a parachute. Anyway, Geese returned to the world's attention when he entered the 1996 King of Fighters tournament, with his underling Mr. Big and fellow world martial arts master Wolfgang Krauser (contrary to popular opinion, Geese and Krauser are not officially related). 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 next year, he sent a team to the King of Fighters, consisting of Billy Kane, Blue Mary, and Ryuji Yamazaki. Again, he failed to gain the power of Orochi, but Ryuji burst into his office and attacked, possessed by the power of Orochi in his blood.

Geese then encountered Terry Bogard 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 pulled himself from Terry's grasp, and allowed himself to fall to his death.

Geese is survived by his son Rock Howard, whom Terry has trained for some time. Geese Howard is voiced by Kong Kuwata, who also did the voices for Genjuurou Kibagami and Neinhalt Sieger from the Samurai Spirits/Samurai Shodown series.
