Scar (Lion King)
166
Scar is the main antagonist of The Lion King franchise. He is Mufasa's younger brother and the uncle of Simba, Kiara, and Kion.
Appearance: Scar has a sleek black mane, tan skin, and distinctive neon green almond-shaped eyes. He has large, tan paws with long, curved black claws that, unlike those of other lions in the film, are always bare and never retracted, perhaps alluding to his vicious nature. Scar has a small, thin, pink scar over his left eye, thus earning his nickname Scar.

His resentment and anger towards Mufasa were strong enough that, after he usurped Mufasa's place on the throne by murdering him, he forbade the very mention of Mufasa's name whenever he was in anyone's vicinity. Scar is arrogant, rude, and very intelligent, bitter, sarcastic, envious, and cruel.

As such, in a grim parallel to Simba's initial idealism to become king, he also goes on to refuse to relocate Pride Rock despite being confronted with obvious evidence that any surviving animals in the region had fled the facility, as well as an ongoing drought, not caring whether this resulted in the kingdom, or his own, dying. This implied that a large part of the reason he chose this course of action was simply because he could give that order as king. Even when he is above Mufasa, having betrayed, murdered, and stolen his throne, he remains sensitive to the mention of his brother. It is one of the on
