Katharina XII (Adelheid Brunhilda Cunegunde Ermengard Katharina Winifred; born 20 April 1984) is Empress regnant of Angvar. The first to rule as a member of a non-ruling noble house with immediate connections to the Angvarian imperial family, she acceded to the Arcane Throne on 30 January 2016, following the death of her late husband Charles IV, and was self-crowned the following year on 19 August.

A member of the House of Beintrussel, the future Katharina XII was born in Mogrok, Gau Vitebellia, to the Marquis de Beintrussel and Lady Johanna Khâz'gorôkh as the eldest of their seven daughters. She grew up near a priory in Ôbkhor and was educated at Khâr'shúbskaï Boarding School, attending Ûdmir and Ghôl'gosh Colleges. Working as an assistant clerk in the Rhagosh Quarter of Mordegard for two years, she was called by her parents to fulfill her duties as one of the ladies-in-waiting to the Empress-Mother Liselotte. In July 2005, she married then-Emperor Charles IV and had three children: Conrad Frederick Louis, Reinhard Walther, and Adelheid; their marriage lasted for eight years until his death in 2016, after he contracted pneumonia. As Empress consort, Katharina undertakes official duties on behalf of the late Emperor, and was directly appointed to be his successor according to his wishes. She held the position of Principal Conductor of the Imperial Angvarian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Emperor Albert IV Ensemble up to this day and is a patron, president or member of over several hundred philanthropic and academic organizations. As sovereign, she holds ultimate commanding authority over the Angvarian military as Supreme Commander-in-Chief, plays the role of the absolute representation of Angvar in global relations, and is the Sovereign and Supreme Pontiff of the worldwide Angvarian Ecumenical Catheric Church.

On 30 January 2016, at thirty-two years old, she proclaimed herself Empress in a joint meeting of the Curia Imperialis. During her rule, the recent 2016 Instrument of Government took effect with her explicit consent, officially granting her unrestrained absolute power than that of her unabridged limit. Thus, her prerogatives as sovereign of Angvar were expanded to include exclusive assents on laws ranging from proscription of specific groups of interest to setting quotas on new fossil fuel exports. She presided over the show trial of thirty anarcho-syndicalist insurgents, which saw the execution of Social Republican activist Günther P. Thalmann.
