Furthermore, Jafar has a sense of humor himself, spurting several puns in a row while keeping Aladdin and his friends from getting the lamp during the film's climax ("Your time is up.", "Don't toy with me.", "Things are unraveling fast now, boy.", "Get the point?", "I'm just getting warmed up."), as pointed out by Hades in "Hercules and the Arabian Night". In the episode "The Citadel", it was told Jafar feared a ruthless sorcerer named Destane, who was the former King of the Black Sand and master of Mozenrath Iago explained Destane proved to be far more dangerous, that even Jafar decided to stay away from him to avoid invoking Destane's wrath. He is also very close to his twin sister Nasira and relishes on her plot to revive him, so that they can rule the world together, even warning her to be cautious of Aladdin's rational thinking and the Genie's power. Jafar was also ready to forgive Iago in the sequel despite Iago leaving Jafar trapped in the lamp. In the face of his villainy, Jafar was friendly and decent to Iago as the two of them seemed to have a genuine friendship as Jafar treated Iago as a partner in crime rather than an incompetent minion and he didn’t double-cross Iago after he become Sultan. He is also very scathing and censorious, as he criticizes Aladdin for choosing to deceive Jasmine into thinking he was a prince instead of being honest with her, as he believed Jasmine would never give him the time of day if she knew who he truly was. However, it is this power-hungry behavior that leads to Jafar's downfall, as Aladdin tricks him into using his third wish to become an omnipotent and transcendental genie, unaware of the life inside the lamp that he has to endure now.ĭespite his psychopathic and deranged behavior, Jafar has a somewhat entertaining and comical edge that helps to add some humanity to his character, for example proclaiming "Eww." when contemplating decapitation, an unusual trait in a Disney villain.
It is not until Jafar gains control of the Genie's lamp that he fully shows his true colors, becoming very prideful, traitorous, manipulative and ill-tempered with his subjects after usurping power from the Sultan. He is also proven to be quite narcissistic and egotistical, due to his desire for power and his manipulations towards the Sultan. In addition, in The Return of Jafar, Jafar was not outside of using loopholes to bypass the ban on Genies killing people via having Abis Mal arrange Aladdin's crucify for him or using the environment to have death becomes an oppressive inevitability during the final battle, and was proven to not mind the Genies can’t kill rule because "you'd be surprised at what you can live through", implying he could torment people to the fullest extent without slaughtering them. He is also proven to be quite sadistic and merciless, as he enjoys putting people in suffering, such as demoting Jasmine and her father as servants after claiming as the new Sultan, and attempts to have Aladdin crucified so many times with plenty of laughs. Even with this mask, Jafar's psychopathic tendencies tend to seep through and become apparent to the viewer. Like numerous clinically diagnosed psychopaths, Jafar wears a metaphorical mask of normalcy throughout the film, establishing himself as a calm schemer and gaining the trust of those around him, despite his rather untrustworthy and treacherous behavior, as he was unsympathetic and cruel towards his fellow conspirators or henchmen, especially Gazeem or Iago on occasion. Jafar is portrayed as a total psychopath who will not hesitate to eliminate anybody that he perceives as a threat to his own sinister designs. He also appears as a recurring antagonist in House of Mouse, and the main antagonist of its 2002 direct-to-video film Mickey's House of Villains, a recurring antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and the Kilala Princess manga, the main antagonist of the video game adaptation of the first movie, a minor antagonist in Kingdom Keepers, the main antagonist of Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, a minor antagonist in the Descendants franchise and the main antagonist of A Whole New World: A Twisted Tale.
