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. Upon [[Guard Armor]]'s destruction, Jafar notes how forceful the [[Keyblade]] is, believing that the strength that defeated their [[Heartless]] wasn’t [[Sora]]'s own. After the events of [[Deep Jungle]], Jafar was inquisitive as to why the Heartless went there; it turned out to have been the stinginess 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 added that Sora was becoming a problem as he managed to lock away the heart of a world from the Heartless afterwards. Maleficent managed to calm his fears by reminding him that Sora is unmindful of their plans for the [[Princesses of Heart]].

In the meantime, Jafar has used the Heartless to cause chaos in Agrabah. Using the bewilderment to his advantage, Jafar took control from the Sultan and put the citizens under house arrest, leaving the city empty; without potential prey to get their attention, the Heartless could concentrate 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 might lose his heart. Just as Jafar locates the princess and moves to capture her, Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] show up and help her escape. Jafar manages to capture Jasmine at last, but he gets confronted by Sora and company, who have joined forces with Aladdin. Aladdin tries to rescue 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.

The pursuit of Jafar leads Sora and his friends to the [[Cave of Wonders]], where the [[Cave of Wonders Guardian|Guardian]] of the Cave is possessed by darkness. As Sora and company deal with the guardian, Jafar retreats to the lamp chamber. While they’re there, he uses his first wish to find Agrabah's Keyhole. The Keyhole is revealed on the far side of the chamber; shortly afterward, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin show up. They battle Jafar; the royal vizier uses his second wish to have Genie fight alongside him against Sora and the rest. Jafar is defeated in the end, but he uses his third and final wish to transform himself into an all-powerful Genie.  

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin venture into the deepest part of the Cave of Wonders; there, they fight Jafar one more time. After his second defeat, Jafar is sucked into a magic lamp of his own along with Iago. [[Hades]], [[Captain Hook]], and [[Riku]] converse about Jafar's chances against Sora; Hades states his belief that the vizier might have triumphed if Riku would have been there to assist him. Maleficent replies to this statement, claiming Jafar served his purpose and was "beyond help, consumed by his own hatred."

Jafar returns in a memory-based version of Agrabah that Sora visits during his journey in [[Castle Oblivion]]. The royal vizier uses the Heartless to take over Agrabah; he tricks Aladdin into getting the lamp in an attempt to make Jasmine marry him. Jafar steals the lamp from Aladdin, and he uses his first wish to have the Genie fetch Jasmine for himself. Aladdin and Sora trick Jafar into using up his second wish to make the Genie to defend him from a sneak attack; upon discovering this, he uses his third and last wish to become an all-powerful Genie. Jafar teleports Sora and his friends to the deepest part of the Cave of Wonders and attacks them; the protagonists defeat him by trapping him in a lamp of his own.

One year after Sora's journey in Castle Oblivion, Jafar's lamp is found by the [[The Peddler|Peddler]]. Maleficent sends [[Pete]] to Agrabah to get the lamp, release Jafar, and turn the royal vizier into a heartless. Unfortunately for Pete, Sora and his friends show up in Agrabah as well.  

Sora, Donald, and Goofy travel to the Cave of Wonders after they reunited with Aladdin; there, they search for a treasure to give to the Peddler in exchange for Jafar's lamp. Sora returns from the Cave of Wonders to look for Pete chasing the Peddler in an attempt to steal the lamp; Sora follows the two of them all the way to the palace. Iago, who managed to get away from the lamp and wants to prove that he has reformed to Aladdin, snatches the lamp from Pete before he has a chance to release Jafar. Outraged, Pete summons the [[Blizzard Lord and Volcanic Lord]], but the Heartless are defeated by Sora, who assists Aladdin seal away Jafar's lamp.

Due to the manipulations of [[Organization XIII]], the Peddler finds Jafar's lamp again and releases the royal vizier. Jafar forces Iago to keep Sora occupied while he makes his way to the palace; the parrot does as ordered and takes Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin to the desert ruins, where they face a ghostly version of Jafar, instead. When the real Jafar is nowhere to be found, Sora and company realize they have been tricked. Iago tells them Jafar is attacking the Palace; Sora and friends rush off to stop him.

Upon arriving at the palace, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin look for Jafar torturing Jasmine, who he has chained to the gate. Jafar tries to eliminate Aladdin by launching a beam of dark lightning at him, but Iago meddles with this and gets knocked unconscious. Jafar assumes his Genie form and rises into the sky, determined to finish Sora and his friends off once and for all. Sora gives chase, riding on [[Carpet|Aladdin's magic carpet]], and he battles the massive genie man-to-man, leading to the destruction of half of Agrabah. In the end, Sora emerges victorious, Jafar explodes, and his lamp dissolves into darkness.

When Data-Sora encounters him in the lamp chamber, Jafar offers a position as his minion due to being impressed with him; he offers him any wish he desires. Data-Sora jokes that he wishes Aladdin was Sultan. Seeing Data-Sora refuses to join him, Jafar uses his last wish to become a genie and vanishes into the Keyhole. Data-Sora encounters him in a lava chamber, where Iago is carrying around the fake lamp, now linked to Jafar. Knocking out Iago, Data-Sora imprisons Jafar inside the very lamp he used for all his trickery.
