to Kalasha oral traditions, the Kator dynasty descended from a pre-Islamic shaman tribe. As per the chronology given by Ahmad Hasan Dani, Shah Kator I was a son of a certain Sang-e-Ali (or Sangin Ali, ??? ???). He came to power in 1585 by usurping throne from the Rais ruler who fled to Badakhshan. In 1615 Shah Mahmud bin Shah Nasir returned and retook his throne from Kators, forcing them to relocate to Mastuj and Yasin.
