''The last time we were in Agrabah, Jafar was trying to use the Heartless to take over the city. He even got control of Aladdin's pal Genie and wished to become a powerful genie himself. Aladdin, Sora, and his friends joined together to defeat Jafar, and imprisoned him in his own lamp.''

==Origin==
[[File:Jafar and Iago.jpg|thumb|right|Jafar and [[Iago]]]]
Jafar first made his appearance in ''Aladdin'' as the Sultan's power-hungry vizier. His quest in seeking someone suitable to enter the [[Cave of Wonders]], "a diamond in the rough", led him to the street urchin [[Aladdin]]. With Aladdin's help, he would almost acquire an ordinary oil lamp which actually housed an all-powerful [[genie]]. However, due to unforeseen consequences, Jafar lost the lamp and his quest for power was thwarted unintentionally by Aladdin under the false identity Prince Ali al Ababwaa. But Jafar would not give up and used his parrot companion [[Iago]] to steal the lamp, becoming the genie's new master and assuming total control over Agrabah using newfound powers he had wished from the genie. He attempted to banish Aladdin to the ends of the earth but failed as Aladdin showed up for one last showdown. Desperate, Jafar used his final wish to become an all-powerful genie but was tricked into being contained inside a lamp by Aladdin and flung out into the desert by the genie.
In the events of ''[[Wikipedia:The Return of Jafar|The Return of Jafar]]'', Jafar sends Iago out of the lamp to release him from his prison, but Iago refuses and drops him down a well. Later, Jafar's lamp is found by a small-time bandit named Abis Mal. Reluctantly, Jafar enters into a mutual partnership with Abis Mal to retake Agrabah and cast out Aladdin and his friends. But his plan ends in failure in the final battle, as Iago uses the last of his remaining strength to kick Jafar's lamp into a pool of lava. With his lamp destroyed, Jafar disappears in a flash of light.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Jafar appears with the Heartless to take over [[Agrabah]]. In order to get the lamp, he tricks Aladdin to get the lamp so he could make [[Jasmine]] marry him. When Jafar has the lamp his first wish is to have Jasmine back, his second is for Genie to protect him from a sneak attack, and third is to became a powerful Genie. He teleports Sora and his friends to the center of the earth and confronts Sora. His attacks were similar, except ice could not damage him. Instead of attacking Jafar directly, he attacks Iago and puts Jafar back in his lamp again.

But this was not the end: Due to the manipulations of [[Organization XIII]], the Peddler finds Jafar's lamp again and releases him. After forcing Iago to keep Sora occupied with a magical shadow clone of himself, Jafar kidnaps Princess Jasmine. Sora defeats the clone and finds Jafar. He and Jafar fight and Sora destroys Jafar in the end.

=== ''Kingdom Hearts coded'' ===
Jafar appears in this game, in Agrabah, in his genie form, confronting Genie and Sora. He steals the Genie's lamp and has a fake lamp that can control time. He kidnaps Princess Jasmine and uses his new powers over time to delay Sora from getting rid of the bugs. In the game, you must fight him twice as his normal self and once as his genie form.


==Personality==
Jafar is a cool and calculated, yet vicious and amoral sorcerer who Maleficent regarded as "Beyond help. Consumed by his own hatred" (Which may end up explaining why Maleficent later tries to make him into a Heartless). He is seen in a mostly cool manner, yet is easily angered. He is sly, ruthless, and ignorant, ignoring Maleficent's warning about keeping his heart open to darkness for too long, simply replying "Your concern is touching, but hardly necessary". In Kingdom Hearts II, he is slightly more impulsive than before yet still isn't stupid.


=== ''Kingdom Hearts Coded'' ===
==Fighting Style==
Jafar was recently shown to appear in this game, in Agrabah, in his genie form, confronting Genie and Sora.

Jafar appears in all three ''Kingdom Hearts'' games as a boss. In the first game, he fights Sora in the cave of wonders by using his staff and magic. During this fight, Jafar typically stands on one of the stone blocks located around the area and attacks from above with a continuous beam of fire and a large ice storm in the center area of the room, occasionally drifting down for a more personal assault with his staff. After he is damaged enough in these confrontations, he turns into a ball of light and floats away, then resumes human form to continue the cycle again. In addition, when hit with Gravity magic, Jafar forms a protective shield around himself. In the second part of the battle, Jafar becomes a powerful Genie and throws fireballs at Sora and friends. When defeated, he is sealed up into a magic lamp. Jafar uses the same attacks in ''Chain of Memories''.

In ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', Jafar returns more powerful than ever in his genie form. Sora rides on the magic carpet as he and Jafar face off. Jafar can teleport Sora to another dimension in this battle and throw buildings at Sora, as well as project fireballs and temporarily paralyze Sora with a flash of light from his eyes. If Sora depletes the [[HP]] in Jafar's chest, then he can do a [[Reaction Command]] in which he grabs Jafar's tail, wraps him up, and spin him around. At the end of the move, Jafar is left briefy dazed.
