==Biography==
==Aladdin==
Jafar sought the Genie's lamp so that he could become the sultan of Agrabah. Originally, he was the royal vizier of the sultan who trusted him, trying to do whatever it takes to become sultan himself. Iago convinced him to marry Jasmine so he could be sultan; then when they were married, Jafar would toss both the Sultan and Jasmine off a cliff. However, after he becomes sultan, he decides to make Jasmine his queen consort, apparently sparing her from this fate. When Prince Ali-Ababwa (Aladdin in disguise) came to marry Jasmine, an extremely outraged and envious Jafar tried to drown the prince so he wouldn't get in his way.
While finally acquiring the lamp, his first wish was to be sultan, his second wish was to be the most powerful sorcerer, and although his third and final wish was to become an all-powerful genie himself (after turning into a giant cobra), his original final wish was to have Princess Jasmine fall in love with him, deciding to make her his queen. In his last wish, Aladdin tricked Jafar into wishing to become a genie by saying, "The genie has more power than you'll ever have.". When he became a genie, Jafar became imprisoned in his own magic lamp, along with Iago.
==The Return of Jafar==
Jafar, as he appears in the sequel was released from his lamp by Abis Mal. However, as he was a genie, he was bound by the rules of obedience to his master and thus handicapped by Abis Mal's habitual amateurishness. Jafar desired to be free so he would get revenge on Aladdin by framing him and then having him executed. Although he needed Mal's cooperation to do this. With the use of trickery, Jafar still asserted his power by tricking Abis Mal into wasting two of his wishes before making him return to Agrabah; Abis Mal willingly went along with Jafar's plots in order to get his own revenge on Aladdin. Once in the palace, the sorcerer revealed himself to Iago and forced him to play along with his wicked plans, trying to bring him back as his henchman.
The next day, Aladdin and the Sultan departed to have a discussion at a place suggested by Iago. After they left, Jafar encountered the Genie and Abu in the Palace gardens and showed his power, imprisoning the pair. Meanwhile, Aladdin had a conversation with the Sultan that earned his acceptance as the future grand vizier. When Aladdin expressed his gratitude to Iago, he was ambushed by Abis Mal and Jafar, the latter disguised as a squad of flying horsemen. The Sultan was kidnapped and Aladdin thrown into the raging river. However, Jafar spared his life in order to exact his revenge in the most painful way possible: By splitting him away from all his loved ones. To this purpose, he left false evidence and masked himself as Jasmine to implicate Aladdin with the alleged murder of the Sultan and Aladdin was thrown into the dungeon to be executed by means of beheading come morning.
When Iago decided to try to free Genie so he would save Aladdin, Iago succeeded just in time and the Genie freed the others. Once free, Aladdin chose to attempt to stop Jafar. Genie told Aladdin that in order to crucify Jafar, his lamp should be destroyed before Abis Mal wished him free. During the final fight, all of the heroes were either knocked out or unavailable. It looked like Jafar was going to get rid of Aladdin and the others at long last. However, Iago turned against him and tried to attack Jafar in Aladdin's defense. The sorcerer managed to hit Iago and almost assassinated him. Although the bird managed to muster up enough strength to kick his former master's lamp into the lava, eliminating the lamp and crucifying Jafar.
