The earliest records of Anton Karidian date to 2246. His daughter, Lenore Karidian, was born one year after the massacre at Tarsus IV. As far back as Lenore could recall, her father had been acting. In the final revised draft script of "The Conscience of the King", Anton Karidian was referred to as having encouraged his daughter, "from the beginning," to become an actress. In 2257, his Karidian Company of Players was sponsored by the Galactic Cultural Exchange Project. For the next nine years, Anton Karidian toured with this company as they visited official installations.
