Background

See Lady Geist/Lore for more story content.

“
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…

Biography

This section contains spoilers for The Binding of Oathkeeper.

Lady Jeanne Geist (married name) was born in France, in 1815. She married German artist Johann Geist.[1] Jeanne and Johann had a son named Walter in 1850, and Johann died in 1880.[2]

Circa 1899, when Jeanne was around 84 years old, the first Maelstrom happened, bringing various supernatural forces to Earth, and the spirit Oathkeeper was one of them. Jeanne made a pact with Oathkeeper to regain her youth in exchange for draining the life of others. She was initially reluctant, but accepted the deal. However, with the help of Walter, she made a ward to keep Oathkeeper under control. As the ward was "against the spirit of the deal," Oathkeeper promised to make Jeanne suffer if he ever broke free.

Walter had a son whom he named after his father, Johann "Jr." Johann Jr. became a doctor, and after Walter died, he did the maintenance of his grandmother's ward. Jeanne and Walter had "a terrible sense of humor", according to Johann Jr.

Now, 50 years after her initial pact and on the eve of the second Maelstrom, Geist has to decide how she'll deal with Oathkeeper, and whether she'll continue to kill others to stay young or accept her natural aging and eventual death.[3]

While her exact motivations change depending on what path she takes in The Binding of Oathkeeper, Lady Geist's main goal in the ritual is to prevent Oathkeeper from breaking free and killing her.[4][5][6][7]

It's implied that, had Lady Geist made her deal with Oathkeeper transparent, she would've been hunted down by the Baxter Society.[8] The OSIC are aware of her deal with Oathkeeper and are keeping an eye on her, but haven't sent a Sandman after her yet.[9][10][11]

Lady Geist's gun was a gift from Johann Geist.[12]

Personality

Lady Geist holds her public image in extremely high regard.[13][14][15][16] She's fashionable and well-versed in notable haberdasheries and brands.[17][18][19]

Lady Geist seems to own a foundation for homeless people.[20] Johann Geist used to take her to "hundreds" of fundraisers in the past.[21]

Lady Geist enjoys going to Jezebel's and offers to help prevent the bar from being shut down by the Alchemy Bureau.[22][23][24] She used to like the Baroness Hotel, but believes their "standards went to hell".[25][26] Lady Geist visited the Paradox Museum once, and thought it was "cliché and overwrought".[27] Lady Geist's hair smells vaguely like flowers.[28]
