Iago returns to his master and remarks that there is a thief in the palace and that he is a "diamond in the rough", before they both begin to watch him make his way through the palace. The following night, Aladdin and Abu break into the palace in order to return Jasmine's bracelet that the latter stole before, unaware that they are being watched by Iago. Outside in the hall, Jafar speaks to Jasmine and tells her that, despite how difficult things seem, she will be happier once she remembers that she is to be "seen, not heard" before leaving, much to Jasmine's annoyance. However, Jafar counters that no amount of studying books can act as a proper substitute for actual experience, with the Sultan also agreeing that Jasmine should stay in line with Agrabah's traditions and marry royalty, since there has never been a female sultan in their thousand-year history and they can't make an exception for her. Jafar is quick to point out that they would never have to worry about having allies if she had decided to marry Prince Anders, with Jasmine then pleading to the Sultan that she herself could succeed him since no one cares for their people the way she does and she was been preparing for it her whole life. With his attempt having failed, Jafar pretends to apologize, but then uses his Staff to hypnotize the Sultan into agreeing with him, only for Princess Jasmine to come across them and snap her father out of Jafar's trance by questioning his decision to wage war on both the kingdom where her mother was born and an ally of Agrabah. When Jafar accuses him of letting his kingdom sink into ruin over "mere sentiment", the Sultan then angrily tells him to remember his place. Jafar then angrily declares that he no longer needs the jailer before shoving the latter down a pit to his death.Īfter Princess Jasmine's rejection of Prince Anders and the possible military alliance, Jafar speaks to the Sultan about their enemies getting stronger every day and advises him to declare war on Shirabad and overtake it before it does the same, though the Sultan strongly disagrees, as Shirabad poses no threat to Agrabah and is their oldest ally. The jailer goes on to say that, since he is not of royal blood, it would be impossible for him to become Sultan, enraging Jafar and prompting him to rant to the jailer about the tribulations he has gone through to get where he is, including spending 5 years in a Shirabad jail. The jailer asks Jafar why he must go to such lengths, reminding him that he is second only to the Sultan, which Jafar points out as being his problem, as he desires to be the Sultan of Agrabah himself. The Cave then tells Jafar to seek it out the "diamond in the rough" who is the one worthy enough to enter.Īt the palace's dungeon, Jafar orders the palace guards (led by Hakim) to examine more prisoners to find the "Diamond in the Rough", but none of them prove to be as the cave described and are sent away.
However, the Cave rejects the prisoner by burying him in the sand as it finds him to be unworthy, much to Jafar's frustration. Jafar debuts in the desert with his pet parrot, Iago, where they lured an unwitting prisoner they hired to enter the Cave of Wonders. He was portrayed by Marwan Kenzari, who also portrayed Sabbac and Ahk-Ton in Black Adam.īiography Finding the Diamond in the Rough He is also based on his original incarnation with the same name. He is the power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah who plots to become Sultan and destroy the nearby kingdom of Shirabad by acquiring the lamp containing the Genie. Jafar is the main antagonist of the 2019 film Aladdin, the live-action remake of the 1992 animated feature film of the same name. ~ Jafar after using his last wish to become a genie. The most powerful in the universe! At last, second to no one! And I thought I had power before! First, I'll lay waste to those fools in Shirabad! You're either the most powerful man in the room, or you're nothing. Steal an apple and you're a thief, steal a kingdom and you're a statesman.
~ Jafar commenting over his goal to overthrow the Sultan and take over Agrabah. Once that lamp sits in my hand, then I shall sit on his throne. Another petty insult from that slow-minded fool.
