Karter

 or Kartir

(flourished 3rd century AD, Iran) Persian high priest of Zoroastrianism. Under the protection of a series of Persian kings, he restored the purity of Zoroastrianism and tried to purge the kingdom of all other religions. His chief rival was the prophet Mani, founder of Manichaeism. At Karter's instigation, Mani was put in prison, where he eventually died. After Karter's death a degree of religious tolerance returned to Persia.
