Biography[edit | edit source]
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 Baron von Haynau's employ as his right-hand man. During the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, he and the baron were present at the flogging and lashing of the Hungarian rebels, especially for one of the women, Margit Libényi.[1]
From his investigation, Mayr later 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 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.[1]
In 1852, during a winter party at von Haynau's home, Mayr joined a conversation between the baron, Countess Konstanze von Visler, Oscar Kane and his apprentice, "John Straw." Mayr and the baron discussed the events with the Libényis 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 party. There, Mayr and Kane discussed information about the weapons the Templars were manufacturing; however, the meeting quickly went sour. Within moments, Mayr took out his scarf and began to strangle Kane from behind. Kane was saved by the timely intervention of 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 razor and died within moments.[1]
