Life's not fair, is it?
Scar, to a mouse

Scar was a male lion. He was the younger brother of Mufasa and the uncle of Simba. He served as a King of the Pride Lands, murdering his brother so he could assume kingship. The Pride Lands suffered greatly under his reign. When the truth was found out about Scar's kingship, Simba, Nala and the rest of the pride fought against Scar and his hyenas. After he betrayed them, he was eaten alive by the hyenas.

Physical appearance[]

Scar was a scrawny, malnourished and lanky lion. His fur was orange with tints of brown. His muzzle, stomach, and paws were a creamy color. He has a black hooked nose and a long, sleek, slicked-back black mane, as well as a black tail-tip. He had bright green eyes with a scar over his right eye. The rings around his eyes were brownish-red. His eyebrows were also black.

Personality[]

Scar was power-hungry, sneaky, arrogant, self-absorbed, murderous, and negligent. He loved to receive praise from others but was not fiercely loyal, and would dismiss anyone who got in the way of his plans. He was hyperintelligent, however, and was smart enough to think of the plan to place himself as king over his brother. He was easily annoyed, but could hold in his anger by using sarcasm and gloom to distract others from his inward annoyance. Scar could typically wriggle out of a situation and shift the blame to someone else. He was charismatic and authoritative, and could use words to craft any narrative he pleased. Scar did not listen to anyone's suggestions during his kingship and cared little about the state of the Pride Lands, instead forcing the lionesses to hunt more rather than search for a more suitable place to live. In the end, his disloyalty ended up being his downfall.

Trivia[]

  • His birth name was originally Askari II.
  • He received his scar from the strange lion's cobra friend.
  • Despite his wickedness, a group of lionesses led by Zira were fiercely loyal to Scar after he was dethroned and killed. They were banished to the Outlands after Zira attacked Simba and tried to place Kovu, Scar's chosen heir, on the throne instead. They were loyal to Scar until Kovu and Kiara helped unite the prides, and Zira's death took place shortly afterwards.
  • Scar and Zira may have been in a romantic relationship. For sure, though, Zira had romantic feelings for Scar.
  • Like the Outsiders, Scar's claws were always unsheathed.
  • He enjoyed watching others suffer, such as when he lied to Simba about the cause of Mufasa's death, and when he smiled as the heartbroken cub ran off.
  • Scar's legacy as a leader of the Lion Guard, the position he held as a cub and teenager, haunted Scar's grandnephew Kion for the first half of his life. Kion frequently worried about becoming like Scar, especially after he was physically scarred on his left eye as well. But he eventually overcame this fear.
  • He hated being compared to Mufasa.
  • He hated his brother and nephew, and had a tense relationship with Sarabi, as well as with Esther.
