Scar/Relationships

## Family

### Mufasa

Mufasa was Scar's older brother and the previous King of the Pride Lands. Mufasa

 File:Battle-for the-Pride Lands (532).png   loved Scar and cared greatly for him, however Scar's feelings were the exact opposite as he secretly desired to outshine his elder brother and steal the throne from him.

When he was the leader of the Lion Guard and had the Roar of the Elders, Scar met a rouge lion from the Outlands who convinced him to turn against Mufasa so they could both take over the Pride Lands. However, during their conversation, Scar was bitten by a Strange Cobra and left with an injury to his eye. Angered, Scar betrayed the rouge lion and killed him and the cobra with the Roar of the Elders, returning to Mufasa's side. After Mufasa mocked his injury, giving him the nickname "Scar" rather than praising him, an outraged Scar plotted to overthrow him, only to murder his Lion Guard in a blind rage, and lose both his position and power after using the latter for evil. Years later when he and his brother are adults, his nephew Simba was born and stripped him of his position as Mufasa's current heir in the process. This was the final straw for Scar, who then allied with the hyenas, one of the Pride Lands's worst enemies from the Elephant Graveyard. He killed his own brother and exiled Simba from the Pride Lands before becoming King. Years into his tyrannical reign as King, a young adult Simba returned to Pride Rock, challenged, battled, and defeated Scar, avenging Mufasa's death, whilst Scar became a ghost.

### Simba

Simba is Scar's nephew. Like Mufasa, Simba initially loved his uncle greatly, but Scar

 File:The Fall Of Mizimu Grove (272).png   never felt the same and instead hated his nephew for being Mufasa's new heir since his birth. After Scar murdered Mufasa and took over, Simba ran away, only to return years later as a young adult and helped by his new friends in Timon and Pumbaa, Nala, and Mufasa's old friend and ally Rafiki. Simba and Scar then fought each over for the title of King of the Pride Lands with Simba ultimately emerging victorious, successfully reclaiming his birthright in the process, whilst Scar was thrown off Pride Rock into the flames below, where he was defeated and killed and became a ghost. Ever since his return thanks to Ushari, Janja and his clan, Scar now sought revenge against Simba for his defeat and also to retake the Pride Lands from him. He tried sending Kiburi's Float to ambush and kill Simba, but when this didn't work, Scar sent Sumu to poison him with his venom. This plan also failed.

Later, Simba calls an end to Scar once and for all, and Scar appears in flames at Pride Rock warning him his plot will never work. However, Kion later defeats him with the Great Lions of the Past.

### Kion

 File:TLG-Battle-for the-Pride Lands (1892).png
Kion is Scar's grandnephew and his successor as Leader of the Lion Guard who vows to not be like him at all. Scar looks down upon the lion cub and his guard greatly and is constantly coming up with plans to defeat Kion and his Guard or to hurt or destroy him, or those Kion cares and loves. One of those plans is what led to the two to finally meeting each other. After Kion went to the Outlands Volcano to get ash for his sick father, Scar revealed himself to him, Makini, and his Guard and had his army trap them in a corner.

It appears that his grandnephew knows more about the Roar than he did, since he used it in a way Scar never did or thought possible to escape the Volcano and is a much better leader than him. Kion has never purposely harmed anyone with his Roar, loves his sister and does not hate her because she is next in line and has always used his Roar for good.

Kion almost always foiled Scar's plans, much to his dismay and anger, causing him to become determined to keep trying to get the cub and his Guard out of the way until he succeeded in doing so.

Months into the war between Scar and Kion, and Kion, an adolescent, gets more determined to defeat Scar. Finally, Kion defeats and destroys Scar once and for all, freeing the Outlands from his tyranny, disbanding his defeated army, and saving the Pride Lands from his destruction.

### Kiara

Kiara is Scar's grandniece and was aware of his return. She hates Scar as much as any Pride Lander. In *The Underground Adventure*, when Kiara, Kion, Bunga, Tiifu and Zuri were playing at the Mud Pots at the edge of the Pride Lands, Scar sent a vulture to light the place on fire, in hopes of killing her and shrinking the Royal Family. Later, in *Battle for the Pride Lands*, Kiara sees Scar and is afraid of her granduncle.

### Sarabi

Sarabi is Scar's sister-in-law. He hates her as much as he hates Mufasa. After taking over the Pride Lands when Mufasa had died and Simba disappeared, Sarabi started to dislike Scar. When their was nothing left to eat in the Pride Lands she suggests that they leave Pride Rock but Scar wouldn't allow it. When faced with Scar, Sarabi keeps her head held high. Sarabi keeps her temper, remaining fair by refusing to take the blame for Scar's doings.

### Nala

Nala is Scar's niece-in-law. She hates Scar just as much as Simba. After Simba ran away into exile as a cub, Nala found him when he grew older and told him to come back. She stood by Simba's side when he fought Scar. Nala got mad at him after finding out that he killed Mufasa. She also appeared scared when Scar appeared on Pride Rock.

### Askari

Askari is Scar's distant relative. Though the two never met due to Askari dying generations before Scar was born, it can be presumed that they do know about each other. Before Scar's facial injury, he was originally named after Askari. Being the second born prince of the Pride Lands, Scar was chosen to follow in Askari's pawprints and become a successor of his as leader of the Lion Guard. He was even gifted with Askari's sacred power, the Roar of the Elders. Due to this, it is likely that Scar heard stories of his famous namesake. However, it can be presumed that after Scar used the Roar to destroy his Lion Guard, Askari was disappointed and saw the evil that existed within Scar. Scar has since then dishonored Askari's legacy by destroying the Lion Guard, his great creation, using his sacred power for evil, and abandoning Askari's name. This shows that Scar has no respect for his distant relative. It is possible that Askari was one of the Great Lions of the Past that aided Kion in defeating Scar.

## Friends, Allies & Acquaintances

### Zira

File:Lions-of-the-Outlands (541).png Zira was Scar's most loyal follower who claims they were very close and this is proven true when she tells Kion that she knows all about the Roar and when it is said he picked her son, Kovu to be his heir. However, after Simba defeated him, she goes as far as attacking him after he states that her son can't be king because it was never Scar's true role, showing she hates it when others say bad things about her king and that she will stop at nothing to avenge him.

It is unknown if Scar actually held Zira in any real regard since he is known for caring only about himself.

### Lioness

Although an exact relationship cannot be established, Lioness clearly has faith in Scar, believing that he should be king. She was exiled from the Pride Lands due to this belief.

### Ushari

File:TLG-Battle-for the-Pride Lands (1735).png Ushari becomes the second-in-command, helper, and spy of Scar after being trampled way too many times by the Guard, causing him to help the hyenas bring him back and also comes quite in handy a lot in his plans whether it involves tricking someone or finding Scar more allies, Ushari will always do what Scar tells him to do and also always believes that he has a plan. Scar sees Ushari as a valuable ally to his army for his intelligence and control of the skinks and other reptiles such as Kenge. He later plays a large role in the final battle against the Lion Guard when Scar has Ushari bite him and give him a scar on his eye just like Scar has. After Scar is destroyed, Ushari, still carrying his allegiance to the former spirit, makes one last attempt on Kion, Scar's grandnephew, but is thwarted by Bunga, Kion's best friend, and falls to his death, ending the terror of the Pride Lands brought among to evil duo once and for all.

### Kiburi

 After being told by Ushari that if he killed Simba he could rule the Pride Lands, Kiburi and his crocs attempted to do so but failed and were exiled and forced to move into the Outlands where they met Scar and since then have been his minions (unaware that it was Scar's machinations that led to Kiburi and his followers being exiled).

Kiburi despite obeying every command of Scar's (unless he does not understand it) almost always fails to please him, often making him angry.

He is power-hungry just like his boss and is always confident that he can win any fight which is what leads to his downfall but despite this, Scar still uses Kiburi in his plans, who one day hopes the Pride Lands will be theirs for taking.

After Scar is destroyed by Kion, Kiburi refuses to submit to Jasiri, the new ruler of the Outlands, claiming he and his float can fend for themselves, likely suggesting that he has left the days of being the soldier of Scar, behind him.

### Tamka

After Kiburi was told by Ushari that if he killed Simba he could rule the Pride Lands, Tamka and the others attempted to do so but failed and were exiled and forced to move into the Outlands where they met Scar and since then have been his minions.

Tamka despite obeying every command of Scar's, almost always fails to please him, often making him angry.

He is power hungry just like his boss and is always confident that he can win any fight which is what leads to his downfall and even admitted that he is not smart when it comes to fighting. But despite this, Scar still uses Tamka in his plans, who one day hopes the Pride Lands will be theirs for taking.

### Nduli

After Kiburi was told by Ushari that if he killed Simba he could rule the Pride Lands, Nduli and the others attempted to do so but failed and were exiled and forced to move into the Outlands where they met Scar and since then have been his minions.

Nduli despite obeying every command of Scar's almost always fails to please him, often making him angry.

He is power hungry just like his boss and is always confident that he can win any fight which is what leads to his downfall. But despite this, Scar still uses Nduli in his plans, who one day hopes the Pride Lands will be theirs for taking.

### Reirei

File:Divide-and-conquer (259).png Eventually, Scar gets the jackals on his side and Reirei is among them and when they join, she becomes one of his new minions. She always obeys Scar's orders and is pretty smart, but almost always fails to get the job done and often angers him. She also claims that jackals are the best and will always put up a fight against her enemies no matter what show she is overconfident which is what leads to her defeat. But despite this, Scar still uses her in his plans and Reirei hopes that one day the Pride Lands will be theirs. for taking.

### Goigoi

Eventually, Scar gets the jackals on his side and Goigoi is among them and when they join, he becomes one of his new soldiers. Just like his mate, he always obeys Scar's orders but almost always fails to get the job done and often angers him. He does whatever Reirei tells him to do and also likes to sleep, as seen while the villains argue on how Kilio Valley is a dump and he is the only one who thinks it’s cozy and then falls asleep. Goigoi will also fight his enemies no matter what, showing he is overconfident which is what leads to his defeat. But despite this, Scar still uses him in his plans and Goigoi hopes that one day the Pride Lands will be theirs for taking.

### Dogo's Siblings

Eventually, Scar gets the jackals on his side and the siblings of Dogo are among them and when they join, they become three of his new soldiers. Just like their parents, they always obey Scar's orders, but almost always fail to get the job done and they often anger him. These three will fight their enemies no matter what just like their parents which is what will usually lead to their defeat. But despite this, Scar still uses them in his plans and they hope that one day the Pride Lands will be theirs for taking.

### Mzingo

File:The-scorpions-sting (561).png Eventually, Scar gets the vultures on his side and Mzingo is among them and when they join in his cause, he becomes one of his new minions.

Mzingo obeys every word of Scar as seen during "The Scorpion's Sting", when he and his parliament swoop down to try and get the ash from Makini but fail, much to the dismay of Scar, who is barley able to please the evil lion.

However, Scar still uses Mzingo in his plots, who one day hopes the Pride Lands will be theirs.

It can safely be assumed that Mzingo abandoned his alliance with Scar because he reforms after Scar is defeated.

### Mwoga

File:The-scorpions-sting (562).png Eventually, Scar gets the vultures on his side and Mwoga is among them and when they join, he becomes one of his new minions.

It can be safely assumed that Mwoga abandoned his alliance with Scar because he reforms after Scar is defeated.

### Male Vulture

Eventually, Scar gets the vultures on his side and male Vulture is among them and when they join, he becomes one of his new minions.

Male Vulture seems to obey all of Scar's words, as seen when he and the others are commanded to stay in Kilio Valley and looks like is one of the only villains who hasn't disappointed him yet and hopes that one day the Pride Lands will be theirs.

It can be safely assumed that Male Vulture abandoned his alliance with Scar because he reforms after Scar is defeated.

### Sumu

File:The-scorpions-sting (225).png After coming up with a plan to end Simba and the Lion Guard, Scar hires the scorpion to poison Simba, that way, his son and his guard would come to the volcano for ash and claims that he helped him set the perfect trap.

He also appears to not fear him, unlike others.

Scar has also labeled Janja as a coward for trying to run from an important battle in *Divide and Conquer*. Despite this, Scar still includes Janja in most of his schemes. Janja is a descendant of the hyena clan who helped him take over the Pride Lands, before betraying and murdering him, themselves. However, Scar double-crosses him and his clan when he finds out about Janja considering joining Jasiri in Battle for the Pride Lands.

Kinyonga is a female chameleon who willingly entered the Outlands to spy on Scar for the Lion Guard. She is also one of the few Pride Landers who is aware of his return (aside from the Lion Guard, Makini, Rafiki, Simba, and Kongwe). Scar, in turn, was furious at Kinyonga for spying on him in the Outlands Volcano.

### Makini

Scar views Makini as an enemy and ordered Mzingo's parliament to deal with her when she left the volcano with the volcanic ash tucked away in her gourd.

### Timon and Pumbaa

Prior to the series, Timon and Pumbaa adopted Simba, Scar's nephew, after he was exiled from the Pride Lands, and grew up into a young adult. After Mufasa returned as a ghost and convinced Simba to take his place, Timon and Pumbaa joined him, and helped him in the battle of Pride Rock, by distracting the hyenas, and later fighting them, giving Simba enough time to confront, and defeat Scar. Scar deliberately scared them into hiding behind a rock in "The Fall of Mizimu Grove".

### His Lion Guard

 File:TLG-Battle-for the-Pride Lands (1366).png  Scar used to be the leader of his own lion guard. However, since he had the Roar he came to believe that he should be king instead of Mufasa. Scar then ordered his guard to help him take down Mufasa, but they refused. So Scar used his Roar against them, this act of evil causing him to lose the Roar forever.

 File:TLG-Battle-for the-Pride Lands (1308).png  Back when Scar was the leader of his Lion Guard. He met the Strange Lion while being on patrol. The Strange Lion taught Scar that the most powerful lion should be king and that he could rule everything, a notion Scar found appealing.

However, this Lion betrayed Scar by luring him towards a Strange Cobra, who bit Scar, giving him his namesake, and offered to cure the venom if Scar obeyed him. Infuriated, Scar instead vanquished the Lion and the Cobra with the Roar.

### Strange Cobra

The Strange Cobra gave him his scar by attacking his face. In anger, Scar used the Roar of the Elders to destroy him.

### Kovu

During his reign, Scar had adopted Kovu, the son of Zira, and had chosen him to become the next Lion King. However, after Scar's nephew Simba returned to the Pride Lands and defeated Scar, Kovu was banished from Pride Rock, only to be raised by Zira to kill Simba and avenge Scar. Kovu infiltrated Simba's pride, but ultimately befriended the King, and fell in love with his daughter (whom he had befriended as a cub) and soon ended up betraying Zira and Scar, rejecting the latter's legacy. Ironically, Scar's plan to get Kovu as the next Lion King would come to pass as Kovu would rule the Pride Lands, but not to Scar's full expectation as he would be Simba's successor, and ruling as a consort to Simba's daughter Kiara.
