'''Karl Mayr''' (died December 1852) was an [[Austria]]n lawyer to the Austrian general, Baron [[Julius Jacob von Haynau]], and a member of the [[Austrian Rite of the Templar Order|Austrian Rite]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].

==Biography==
Not much is known about Mayr's past, only that he was inducted into the Templar Order at some point in his life. Working as a lawyer, Mayr found himself in the Baron von Haynau's employ as his right-hand man. During the {{Wiki|Hungarian Revolution of 1848}}, he and the baron were present at the flogging and lashing of the [[Hungary|Hungarian]] rebels, especially for one of the women, Miss [[Libényi]]. From his investigation, Mayr found out that both the lady and her brother, [[János Libényi]], moved to [[Vienna]] after the revolution. He soon tracked and approached János as he recalled to him about his sister's part in the revolution. Thus, he made János pay numerous fees and bled him financially. This happened to be a part of Mayr's and the baron's plan to remodel the city into the modern age, by first taking out the older walls, which housed János' tailor shop. Working with the city's municipal courts, Mayr took charge of the paperwork for the reconstruction.<ref name="Chapter 05">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 5</ref>

In 1852, during a winter party at von Haynau's home, Mayr joins a conversation between the baron, Countess [[Konstanze von Visler]], [[Oscar Kane]] and his apprentice, Mr. "[[Simeon Price|John Straw]]." Mayr and the baron discussed the events with the Libényi's in front of their group and were elated to see the progress being made for their remodel of the city. During the Viennese dance, Mayr pulled Kane aside to the anteroom, away from the dance. In the room, Mayr and Kane discussed information about the weapons Templars were manufacturing, however the meeting went askew and sour quickly. Within moments, Mayr used his scarf and began to strangle Kane from behind. Noticing too late, he was lunged by Straw, who found a metal pen and stabbed Mayr with it. Letting Kane go, Mayr tried to go for his weapon, but he had his hair pulled back by Straw. Instantly, Mayr had his throat slit by Straw's [[Straight razor|razor]] and died immediately.<ref name="Chapter 05"/>

==Personality and traits==
Karl Mayr was a short man, with blond hair and a blond brush mustache. He also wore a monocle and a yellow silk scarf. His personality similarly resembled his boss's as he garnered no empathy for the cruel punishment done onto the Hungarian rebels, especially the women.<ref name="Chapter 05"/>
