Lady Geist is a Hero in Deadlock. A socialite with a necromantic pact, Lady Geist consumes her own health for her abilities while draining the life away from opponents. Sacrificing her life force to launch Essence Bombs and Malice "Blood Shards", Lady Geist can regain lost health with Life Drain, sapping enemy heroes and units of their health. Her Soul Exchange swaps health values with an enemy hero, turning the odds against them for a killing blow.
The Toast of the Town, Lady Jeanne Geist was famed by all and invited to every ball and gala in the city... until her beauty faded in her old age and left her with only memories and stories of her glory. In desperation, she formed a pact with a powerful spirit and bound it by powerful wards until she was safe and young again. All she needs to do now is feed on the life force of her fellows to maintain her beauty... and hope desperately that the Oathkeeper will stay bound.

Life Drain's -40% move speed reduction only applies while the target is being damaged.
When Alternate casting, Spirit self-damage is dealt equal to the base DPS of Life Drain. This damage is not lethal and can be mitigated by Spirit Resist items.
The health given to a teammate is equal to the ability's base DPS, independent from the self-damage, and is affected by Healing Effectiveness modifiers.
The Alternate Cast can be used on a friendly hero that has full health, but Geist will not take self-damage unless health is being "transferred".
Life Drain's tether stays attached to a target even when out of line of sight or beyond its 28m Max Range.
Because Life Drain stays attached while out of line of sight, the position of tethered victims can be tracked if they move for cover.

Item Draft
In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to Lady Geist: High, Average, or Low chance.
Once, Lady Jeanne Geist was the toast of the town. But as time passed and her beauty faded she found herself further and further from her glory days in High Society until finally she was nothing more than a frail woman in a nursing home, telling stories of a glorious past. And that’s when Oathkeeper revealed himself. A powerful spirit from another plane, Oathkeeper offered her a path to reclaim her past glories… he could restore her youth; all she had to do was drain the essence of the living to sustain herself.
Geist was torn. Obviously murder was ghoulish business, and undoubtedly Oathkeeper was not an entity that could be trusted… but still, the thought of having a second chance of reliving her youth was too good to pass up. And so she concocted a plan: after making a pact with Oathkeeper she would bind and ward him, limiting his influence and pull over her. Oathkeeper would still get fed; but on her terms, not his.
However, as years have turned to decades; the strength of the Ward has weakened, and Oathkeeper hungers more than he ever has in the past…
Ability targeting focuses Geist's hand instead of center of mass.
