**Personality Traits:**

Jafar is an amoral psychopath who won't hesitate to destroy anyone he perceives as a threat to his own sinister designs. He has mastered being able to wear a metaphorical mask of normalcy, establishing himself as a cool-headed schemer and gaining the trust of those around him. But even with his mask, certain things can crack away at it revealing his psychopathic tendencies in small fractions. He has a total lack of apathy when it comes to death, showing no remorse when dealing with those he ultimately kills. Jafar is also an emotional sadist, getting a laugh out of seeing "another fellow's dreams turn into nightmares one by one", had he the choice, he would chose torturing a victim to their breaking point over and over instead of death.

Jafar also has some narcissistic tenancies, most commonly his obsessive desire for power and sense of entitlement as well as manipulating others into achieving his goals. When on a particular 'high' from power, he becomes arrogant and short-tempered. He has a rather dry sense of humor and tends to lean towards using puns. Those who become close to him he abuses without a single regard, having problems with letting people get too close. However, he has a sort of weak spot for exceptionally beautiful women though views them more as objects in the bedroom rather than people themselves (extremely sexist).

**Skills:**

Jafar has an extensive knowledge on arcane lore and is a practiced alchemist. His sorcerer abilities are limited to what magic his gold staff can hold but with it he can easily hypnotize others into doing his will and see a small distance into the future (though he isn't very good at it). He's also very good with disguise, using his magic to cloak himself in 'another person's skin' so to speak. He is exceptionally good at manipulating others into seeing things his way and finding loopholes. He can levitate objects, breath fire, summon objects, and transform himself and others. In addition, he is also immune to the effects of fire.

**Biography (Before Earth):**

Born the son of the assistant Vizier of Agrabah, Jafar lived a fairly prosperous life in the Sultan's Palace. Though not permitted to venture to most places within the Palace, Jafar was a good boy and minded the boundaries set to him, most often times preferring to stay within the walls of the library and read anything he could get his hands on pertaining to science and history. He grew up fast and when Jafar's father was appointed the Grand Vizier, Jafar at the young age of sixteen took his father's place as assistant Vazier's and worked diligently by his father's side.

Years later, Jafar stumbled into a particular meeting led by his father and was completely shocked to find that the entire system was corrupt, only caring about money and very little about the people who they are sworn to serve. Before his father had a chance to explain things to him, Jafar ran from the castle, fleeing into the streets to find a place where he could be by himself and just think but accidentally ran into the town's storyteller in the process. Apologizing for his rude behavior, the storyteller Sherrezade asks him to help her with her groceries he had knocked over and take them inside, promising to feed him and tell him a fine tale. Agreeing, Jafar helps the young woman inside and sat at her table, though wasn't able to bring himself to eat just yet.

Sherrezade began her story, telling Jafar of the Tiger Head Cave and showed him her half of a golden scarab necklace, which when combined with the other half would reveal the location of the hidden Tiger Head Cave. Though Jafar is a man of facts and science, he was charmed by Sherrezade's wisdom and beauty. He continued to see Sherrezade after that, finding time at least once a week to go to her and listen to her stories. As Jafar and Sherrezade got to know each other over the passing year, they fell in love and got married when Jafar was only eighteen. 

Several years later and now the Grand Vizier, Jafar continued to struggle against the corruption and incompetence of the palace before Sherrezade announced that she was pregnant. Jafar was overjoyed, especially since the couple had been trying for a long time to conceive. Suddenly, a guard informed Jafar that his request to meet with the Sultan had been granted and he was to report to the palace immediately.

When Jafar took Sherrezade with him to his meeting with the Sultan, the Sultan fell in love with Sherrezade and claimed her as his wife. Jafar refused and was beaten by the guards for trying to interfere. Sherrezade reminded Jafar that he will be a great man someday and to never stop believing. She gave him her scarab necklace and vowed that they will be reunited once more before she was taken away to the Sultan's harem where he lost her to the Sultan and then ultimately lost her to death in childbirth.

Spending years searching for the other half of the scarab, Jafar finally discovered the location of The Tiger Head Cave and ventured inside, determined to free the legendary Djinn from inside to change his fate and bring back his wife and child. The Djinn, however, was unable to bring her back from the dead and in a moment of rage, Jafar killed the Djinn. Magic rippled around the cave as the Djinn succumbed to death, passing on his powers to Jafar through means of a golden cobra head staff with the promise that the power would corrupt his mind and soul. Jafar didn't care anymore. He had come to accept that he needed to take the twisted path of life, to do the right thing even if it means being remembered as a villain. And the right thing was to destroy the Sultan and the palace from the inside out.

**Biography (Life On Earth):**

Jafar never went to Earth, and has no idea the place even exists.

**Other:**

Jafar's sorcerer powers are limited to his golden cobra-head staff. Without it, he's just a normal psychopath. He has served Maleficent for 13 years now as her personal adviser and he practically worships the ground she walks on, never wanting to disappoint or anger her in any way and inadvertently has fallen in love with her power. He was also very eager to become her personal bedroom toy.
