Jafar: Difference between revisions

Jafar is a part of Maleficent's council of Disney Villains who desire total control of [[Kingdom Hearts]], acting as third-in-command of the group. Unlike most of the group, Jafar is the most scholarly and insightful, often questioning Maleficent about the safety of their plans and if a peculiar situation happens. Upon [[Guard Armor]]'s destruction, Jafar noted how powerful the [[Keyblade]] is; he believed that the strength that defeated their [[Heartless]] was not [[Sora]]'s own. After the events of [[Deep Jungle]], Jafar was curious as to why the Heartless went there; it turned out to have been the greed in [[Clayton]]'s heart. Having seen [[Stealth Sneak]] crush Clayton to death by accident, Jafar noted "a weak-hearted fool like him stood no chance against the Heartless." However, he then added that Sora was becoming a problem as he managed to lock away the heart of a world from the Heartless. Maleficent managed to calm his fears by reminding him that Sora is unaware of their plans for the [[Princesses of Heart]], who are falling into their hands one-by-one; at that moment one of them appears from the darkness. ([[Alice]] or [[Snow White]], depending if Wonderland was completed before Deep Jungle.)

In the meantime, Jafar has been using the Heartless to cause chaos in Agrabah. Using the confusion to his advantage, Jafar took control from the Sultan and put the citizens under house arrest, leaving the city empty; without potential prey to distract them, the Heartless could focus on searching for the [[Keyhole]]. Maleficent orders Jafar to kidnap Princess [[Jasmine]], one of the seven Princesses of Heart, and she warns him not to rely too fully on the darkness, or else he may lose his heart. Just as Jafar locates the princess and moves to capture her, Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive and help her get away. Jafar eventually manages to capture Jasmine, but he is confronted by the Sora and company, who have joined forces with Aladdin. Aladdin tries to save Jasmine from Jafar by using [[Genie]]'s powers, but Jafar's parrot [[Iago]] manages to steal the magic lamp, to which Genie is bound. Jafar summons the [[Pot Centipede]] to finish off the heroes while he makes his exit.

Jafar is very cool and calculated, yet vicious and an amoral sorcerer who Maleficent regarded as "Beyond help. Consumed by his own hatred." He is seen in a mostly cool manner, yet is easily angered. He is sly, ruthless, and arrogant, 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, but not quite as arrogant.
