John Charles Novellen (1757-Present) know regally as John VIII, was the eldest son of Joseph II & Anne I. He served as the Duke of Helena since 1785 and later the Holy Orenian Emperor in 1814 upon the passing of his father. In 1780, John married Wilhelmina Helvets of Cathalon. However, prior to John being coronated as the Holy Orenian Emperor, he divorced Wilhelmina after decades of a fruitless marriage. He remains to this day without a legitimate child and thus his brother, Prince Philip, Duke of Crestfall was made his Heir Apparent.
