Description
Geiger serves as the primary antagonist in Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water: The Motion Picture. His background is that of a scientist who was once a follower of the late Lord Gargoyle, the original series' main villain. In the years following Gargoyle's defeat, Geiger has developed his own ambitions to surpass his former master's plan for world conquest.
In terms of personality, Geiger is depicted as a sadistic megalomaniac. He holds a self-entitled belief that he is the only one capable of leading the human race, but this conviction masks a deep-seated and cruel desire for absolute control over everyone. While his predecessor Gargoyle was often portrayed as subtle and cunning, Geiger is described as a less nuanced and more traditional mad scientist. His behavior can be theatrical and vicious, as he regularly kills his own men for even minor failures, displaying a volatile and tyrannical leadership style.
His central motivation is to achieve global domination by instigating a catastrophic world war. Geiger believes that by orchestrating a massive conflict, he can then step in to unite the remaining populace under his command and be crowned the new leader of the Earth. His plan is designed to cause immense suffering, with the goal of wiping out as much as two-fifths of the world's population.
Within the story, Geiger's role is to be the direct threat that reunites the heroes, Nadia and Jean, for a new adventure. His scheme involves kidnapping various politicians, generals, and capitalists. He keeps these individuals stored away as living brains preserved in jars, and uses advanced robot technology to create robotic replicas that replace these world leaders, thereby manipulating global politics from the shadows. The film's plot revolves around the protagonists uncovering and thwarting this conspiracy.
Information on Geiger's key relationships is limited, but he is noted to have subordinates and henchmen, whom he treats as expendable and often executes for perceived incompetence. There is no significant character described for Geiger, as critical reception notes that the film’s new characters are generally underdeveloped. He does not undergo any meaningful growth or change, serving primarily as a static obstacle for the heroes to overcome. His notable abilities include his scientific genius, particularly in the fields of robotics and biomechanical preservation, as evidenced by his creation of lifelike robot duplicates and the technology to keep human brains alive in jars.
