== The Binding of Oathkeeper ==
''Content below contains spoilers for [[The Binding of Oathkeeper]]''

Johann Jr. is one of the main characters in Lady Geist's visual novel: [[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']]. His role and fate depends on what choices Lady Geist makes during the story.

In Chapter 1, Lady Geist calls Johann Jr. over to inspect Oathkeeper's weakening ward. Johann tells Geist that Oathkeeper is getting close to breaking the ward and that he can't build a better ward. After getting threatened by Lady Geist, Johann suggests learning more about Oathkeeper, or learning more about Wards.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]] - [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#Chapter 1: The Oathkeeper Problem|Chapter 1]]</ref>

Johann has little to no impact in storylines A and B past Chapter 1, beyond contacting {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}} to talk to Lady Geist in Chapter 2a.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]] - [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#2a - Party Planning|Chapter 2a]] - {{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}: ''"Hello, professor. I believe Johann told you to expect me."'' - {{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}: ''"Uh, he said his grandmother would like to have a chat, but you don't..."''</ref>

=== Storyline C, D, E and F ===
In Chapter 2b, Johann Jr. tells Lady Geist what he learned about Oathkeeper from Walter Geist's research.

In Chapter 4d, Lady Geist wants to transfer Oathkeeper to Johann Jr., which he passionately refuses. Johann suggests Geist give Oathkeeper to some other terrible person she knows such as [[Maximilian Fairfax]], but takes it back once Geist points out that Fairfax would likely weaponize Oathkeeper for the [[Fairfax Industries|Occult Industrial Complex]]. After Lady Geist suggests giving Oathkeeper to [[Shelly Fisher]], Johann snaps and tells Geist that there's no cure for Oathkeeper and that her time is up before leaving.

Johann doesn't appear again in storyline C, D, E or F, but he does contact Ms. Shelly to warn her about Lady Geist and Oathkeeper.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper]] - [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#Chapter 1: The Oathkeeper Problem|Chapter 5d]] - [[Shelly Fisher|Ms. Shelly]]: ''"Johann called and told me all about you, Lady Geist. And if you knew anything about me you'd know I traffic in creation, not death. So no. You're not offering me a miracle. You're offering me a curse."''</ref>

=== Storyline G and H ===
In Chapter 3c, Lady Geist decides to try and play off Oathkeeper's cruelty. To do this, they plan to summon the Patrons to keep Oathkeeper obedient for 200 years at the cost of Johann Jr.'s life.

The plan is put into action in Chapter 3d, where Lady Geist calls Johann over for a cup of tea. Johann asks about Oathkeeper, where Geist reveals the plan to make a deal with the Patrons. Johann asks why she doesn't just banish Oathkeeper, as he believed the point of the Oathkeeper problem was to get rid of him. Lady Geist reveals that she has no intention of giving up Oathkeeper, which causes Johann to refuse to have any part in Geist's plan. Unfortunately for Johann, the tea he drank was drugged, causing him to fall unconscious.

In Chapter 5g, Lady Geist succeeds in summoning the Patron and takes Johann Jr. to them. She demands a sacrifice: Johann's life for 200 years of obidience from Oathkeeper. Johann begs Geist to stop, while Oathkeeper consents to the deal. Johann is killed as the Patron grants the wish, leaving his bloody body lying in an alleyway.

In Chapter 5h, Lady Geist succeeds in summoning the Patron, just like in Chapter 5g. Right before she makes her wish, she remembers the time she first held Johann Jr. as a baby, with her son Walter Geist by her side. The memories of her family causes Lady Geist to change her wish at the last moment, sacrificing herself to banish Oathkeeper from Earth's realm. Some time passes as Johann visits the Geist family's grave, and while he's still a little shaken by Geist almost killing him, he ultimately thanks her.

=== Storyline I ===
Beyond Chapter 2b, Johann Jr. doesn't appear in Storyline I until Chapter 5, after Lady Geist succeeds in summoning the Patron and seperates herself from Oathkeeper. Deciding to enjoy the rest of her life in Paris, Geist and Johann wait for her flight at an airport. Geist thanks Johann for his help and tells him he's very much his father's son, which he appreciates. She also leaves him a bag of valuables as payment for being a difficult patient for Johann.
