Scar's introduction is pretty cool. But we immediately find out that he is a jealous, easily aggravated, cheek strikes bastard. He tries to crunch Zazu, and purposely offends Mufasa and disrespect him. He is incredibly rude to everybody. For stealing his spot as king, Scar hates his nephew Simba with a passion, and gets him to explore an elephant graveyard, purposely endangering the innocent youngster. When the plan to have his nephew killed fails, Scar plots with his hyena friends. He sets up a stampede to chase Simba through a ravine, while Simba runs Scar alerts his brother of the danger. His original plan was to have Mufasa and Simba both be killed in the stampede, but when Mufasa saves his son and begs for Scar's help while dangling from a cliff, Scar reconsiders his plan and, with Mufasa completely at his mercy, ruthlessly slaughters him. Scar then manipulates the latter into believing the death was his fault, and orders him to run. That night, Scar finally becomes king.


His reign is long and cruel. He starves his people, doesn't give a shit when Sarabi informs him of it, and backhands her across the face, almost killing her. But when an adolescent Simba appears, revealing himself to be alive, Scar becomes frightened. However his fear soon turns to snarkiness when he starts to remind his nephew of his crime. Filled to the brim with guilt, Simba admits his kill to the pride. Sarabi is torn by this. Scar soon takes advantage of the situation and forces his weak nephew to the edge of a cliff. The fall isn't fatal, but when lightning strikes below Simba, it quickly turns into just that. Hanging on to the cliff and trying to live, Simba gets his paws clawed at menacingly by Scar, who then admits that he is the true killer in a whisper. Furious, Simba pins his uncle to the ground and chokes him, giving Scar a temporary lazy eye due to the pain. Simba chokes Scar hard, stating that he must confess to the pride or being choked to death. Of course, willing to do anything to breathe, Scar says alright in barely full volume, being choked too hard to speak properly. Simba, out of hatred, chokes Scar harder and makes him gag loudly. Scar struggles to speak again, and has to once more say alright. Unfortunately, Simba is still furious, and chokes Scar harder again, completely cutting off his air. Scar, gasping for breath and wanting to live, whispers, I did it. Simba tells Scar to say it louder so the pride can hear him, and finnaly loosens his grip a little bit. Scar cries out what he did, and Simba tries to choke Scar again. He is stopped when the hyenas rush at him. Scar tries to escape, but is cornered by Simba. Scar begs for his life and eventually attacks Simba. However, he falls off a cliff and gets torn to pieces by the hyenas.
