Who is Jafar?
Jafar is the primary antagonist in Disney’s 1992 feature film Aladdin.
He’s the Royal Vizier to the Sultan of Agrabah and is considered the palace’s most loyal advisor.
Despite being Sultan’s go-to guy, he wishes to find a magic lamp that will make him an incredibly powerful genie.
He thinks that being Sultan through marrying Jasmine will give him immense power, but he realizes quickly that this simply won’t be enough.
He’s certainly a scary guy, but what makes Jafar a memorable villain is his stature, dry sense of humor, and hilarious sidekick.
And you can’t beat his threatening snake staff either!
In terms of his powers and abilities, Jafar is adept at disguise, sorcery, and alchemy which is shown when he hypnotizes the Sultan.
