Lady Geist lore and story
An editorial guide to Lady Geist's background, motive for entering the Ritual, and possible wish from a Patron.
Who is Lady Geist?
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…
Lady Geist enters a Ritual in which six heroes aid a Patron against its rival. Victory matters beyond the match: the successful Patron can offer each ally a wish, turning every combatant's private motive into part of the city's larger occult crisis.

To renegotiate, escape, or finally master the supernatural bargain that preserves her youth at a terrible cost.
Strongly implied. Deadlock remains in development, so Lock Lab separates explicit canon from dialogue-based implication and editorial interpretation.Lock Lab reading
Lady Geist's story connects a personal problem to the larger struggle over the Amber Hand and Sapphire Flame. Expending health to achieve devastating effects is the source of Lady Geist's power. When running low, she can drain the life out of her rivals. is the gameplay expression; the lore asks what someone with that temperament would risk for a single supernatural bargain.
The Patron bargain makes this motive important: a wish is not simply a reward, but a test of what Lady Geist values and what price they may accept when an elder power controls the terms.
