Jafar (Aladdin)

Jafar is the main antagonist of Disney's Aladdin franchise. He is the power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah who serves as Aladdin's arch-nemesis and Iago's former owner and boss. In all of his appearances, he was voiced and portrayed by Jonathan Freeman.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Jafar is among Disney's most popular villains, and
 * 2) Jafar deicates his plan to gain the magic lamp containing an all-powerful genie, in which he would use to overtake Agrabah and the world at large.
 * 3) Jafar is a tall, slender man dressed in extravagant clothing, always seen carrying a gold, ruby-eyed, cobra headed staff to supplement his magical powers.
 * 4) Jafar is portrayed as an immoral psychopath who will not hesitate to destroy anyone he perceives as a threat to his own sinister designs.
 * 5) Jafar may act calm and polite toward Jasmine and the Sultan (while still being quite manipulative), but it's only because he has to be in so to cover his true motives. He's clearly shown to drop the demeanor whenever not in their presence. It's half the reason people love him.
 * 6) Jafar has a sense of humor himself, spurting several puns in a row while keeping Aladdin and his friends from getting the lamp during the film's climax ("Your time is up!", "Don't toy with me!", "Things are unraveling fast now, boy!", "Get the point?", "I'm just getting warmed up!").
 * 7) During his fight with Aladdin, Jafar transforms himself into a massive cobra and came close to killing him.

Trivia

 * 1) Jafar is very similar to Maleficent, probably due to them both being tall, thin sorcerous characters who dress in dark colors, carry magical staffs, and have bird sidekicks.
