From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kartir was a highly influential Zoroastrian high-priest of the late 3rd century CE. He served as advisor to at least three Sassanid emperors. Kartir was probably instrumental in promoting the cause of Zoroastrianism. According to his own inscriptions, Kartir rose to power during the reign of Shapur I (r. 241-272), to whom he served as advisor and accompanied on travels.
