Strange Lion (The Lion King: Revisited)

"I found his idea intriguing, though the most powerful lion was me. But the strange lion was scheming, and had a friend that I didn't see..."

- Scar The strange lion was an adult male lion who lured Scar into getting his scar.

Appearance
This lion has red eyes, dark orange fur, dark red mane, and a scar on his right eye.

Personality
"He said he had wisdom and power, and the most powerful should be king. With help from me and my Roar, he and I could rule everything."

- Scar

Sneaky and misleading, the strange lion is persuasive and an opportunist. Desiring to take over the Pride Lands from King Mufasa, he allies with a strange cobra and tricks Scar, Mufasa's brother and the leader of the Lion Guard, into aid him on his plans, convincing him that he has wisdom and power and they can rule together, yet he actually wants to use Scar as his pawn.

The strange lion is also a sadist, being willing to allow his accomplice to injure Scar to make him believe they have a cure for it in order to get Scar subservient to them, demonstrating that he never intended to rule along with him. However, this wicked act ultimately costs the lion his own life: in a fit of rage, Scar uses the Roar of the Elders to destroy him and his cobra friend.

History
"When I was the Lion Guard's fiercest, I took most patrols on my own. So when I met this strange lion, I had no fear of being alone."

- Scar

Back when Scar, the brother of Mufasa, possessed the Roar of the Elders and was leader of the Lion Guard, he was patrolling the Outlands and met the strange lion. The stranger convinced him that he was the one who should rule the Pride Lands rather than Mufasa. Consumed by his own thirst for power and greed, Scar agreed with the lion. The lion proposed to help Scar achieve such a goal, so he took him to a snake who was in cahoots with him. The snake bit Scar on his left eye, giving him a scar. While the lion and the snake hoped to hold the cure over Scar's head so that he would obey them, Scar turned his rage on them and destroyed them with his Roar.
