{{Quotation|'''A FATE'S TALE'''|

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...

''This section contains '''spoilers''' for [[The Binding of Oathkeeper]].''

Jeanne "Oma" Geist (married name) was born in France, in 1815. She married German artist<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_headline_69.mp3|transcription=The Museum of Modern Art recently announced a special gallery showcasing the work of late German artist Johann Geist.}}</ref> [[Johann Geist]]. Jeanne and Johann had a son named [[Minor characters#Walter Geist|Walter]] in 1850, and Johann died in 1880.

[[Storyline|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.

Walter had a son whom he named after his father, [[Minor characters#Johann Geist (Jr.)|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.<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']]</ref>
