Scar/Relationships

## Family

### Mufasa

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

Kion is Scar's great nephew, and the current leader of the Lion Guard who vows to not be like him at all. Scar despises 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 those Kion cares and loves. One of those plans is actually what made the two finally meet. 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 great niece and Kiara is aware of this return she will not be on Scar's side and it doesn't look like she will ever try and be like him.  In "*The Underground Adventure* when Kiara, Kion, Bunga, Tiifu and Zuri were playing at the hot mud pots at the edge of the  Pride Lands, Scar sent a vulture to light the place on fire, in hopes of killing the princess, showing he hates her as much as the rest of her kin.

### 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

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. However Zira told Kion that Scar taught her all about the Roar of the Elders, revealing that he did trust Zira and choosing Zira's son to be his heir despite Kovu not being *his* son was likely a gesture on Scar's part to solidify Zira's devotion.

### Ushari

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 claims 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

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.

But despite this, Scar still uses him in his plans and Goigoi hopes that one day the Pride Lands will be theirs for taking.

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.
