## History

Jafar is a classic Disney villain. Evil advisor, tries to kill the hero, tries to force the princess to marry him, gets his comeuppance in a fiendishly appropriate manner, it’s all there. He has Jasmine’s father, the Sultan of Agrabah literally brainwashed and will stop at nothing to gain as much power as he can. He like many others just loves the power and doesn’t understand the ramifications of it. Aside from the murder attempts on Aladdin and Jasmine however, he doesn’t have much else. There’s not a lot below the surface level. It’s a standard love of power. It’s a little bland. It’s classic evil, but is it really innovative evil? This by far makes Jafar one of the most power-hungry of the Disney villains.

## Powerfulness and Weaknesses

Jafar is a magic user, who has some of the most aggressive magic of any Disney villain. He used it to influence the Sultan and gain power over the kingdom of Agrabah. Not only that, but once he made his wish to become an all powerful genie, he practically made himself a god. Although it didn’t last long the first time. But from Return of Jafar and onward, was able to use it to his advantage. Even before he was able to utilize Genie, he had ways of finding people and using their desires against them. He had the guard which obeyed his every order and a secret lab to plot his next move. He knew how to hide his true intentions, not suspected of anything until Aladdin showed up. Heck, he worked his way up the Sultan’s hierarchy using his quick wits and hypnotic magic.

## Intelligence

Though power-hungry and wielding an impressive amount of magic, Jafar was not able to really utilize his powers. He relied on his ability to hypnotize the Sultan and we can see when he’s trying to marry Jasmine, that this trick doesn’t always work on the first try. He comes off as suffering from tunnel vision whenever he’s close to success getting attacked by Abu and losing the lamp, losing countless people to the Cave of Wonders before finding Aladdin and being tricked by Aladdin to be turned into a genie. He does get credit that he was able to hide his true nature for an unknown amount of time and was the one to figure out who Aladdin was before anyone else. Jafar is definitely smart enough to be manipulative, but he tends to put his guard down when he gets cocky.

## Arsenal

**His Snake Staff:** Most of Jafar's powers come from his snake staff which include the ability to hypnotize people and also the power to shoot lightning and dark magic from the ruby eyes of the snake. Jafar snake staff is also one of the Wicked Nine in *Sofia the First* along with Maleficent's Staff, Ursula's Necklace, Queen Grimhilde's Crown and Heartbox, Shan Yu's Sword, Mother Gothel's Sundrop Flower, Dr. Facilier's Hat, Lady Tremaine's Golden Key and Mor'du's Claw.

**His Golden Scarab Beetle:** Jafar's golden scarab beetle acts as his key to the Cave of Wonders, but after it receives a magical upgrade from Maleficent, it has the power to act as a key to any secured area.

**His Genie Lamp:** Once he was turned into a genie, Jafar got his own lamp. It resembles the same one as Genie's, but rather than gold it's black much to go with his evil personality. It's most likely he uses the lamp to transform into his genie form.

## Goal

In the Sora and Pretty Cure's Adventures series, With the powers of the Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed and Nightmares, Shuriki along with Jafar, the Council of Villains and Organization XIII aim to bring all of the worlds home to Sora and numerous other Disney Characters to darkness and ruin starting with Avalor.

## Defeats

Upon his first time becoming a genie in Aladdin, Jafar didn't consider the consequence that as a genie with phenomenal cosmic power, there's also itty-bitty living space as he also gets his own lamp and having to be sucked down and trapped in it for all eternity.

In Return of Jafar, Iago destroys Jafar's lamp by having it fall into a river of lava resulting in Jafar exploding to his defeat and death.
