Uldiz was thought as the leader of the Hun Empires
"west wing" of which the borders almost reached the Lake Balkash in Asia. In
404-405 and especially in 409 as he crossed the river Danube he proved Byzantium that the
Hun threat had not decreased yet and according to Greek sources he had challenged by
telling the governor of Thrace who had came for reconciliation negotiations "I can
capture any place up to the point where the sun goes down". After Uldiz died (ca.
410) Karaton was on top of the Hun Empire.
The only thing we know about this is that he had gone
to Olympiodoros, the ambassador of Byzantium in 412. Karaton seemed to be involved mostly
in eastern missions. As until 422 no information about the Hun's can be given, it is
estimated that this occupation had last for approximately 10 years.
