Jafar is the main antagonist. As Royal Vizier of Agrabah, he is presented as the Sultan's most trusted and loyal advisor. In truth, the imperious Jafar holds passionate disdain for the Sultan. He dedicates the latter half of his life to gaining ownership of a magic lamp containing an all-powerful genie — to that end, Jafar would control cosmic power, which he will use to overtake the throne and the world at large. Jafar is portrayed as an immoral psychopath who will not hesitate to destroy anyone he perceives as a threat to his sinister designs. Like numerous clinically-diagnosed psychopaths, Jafar wears a metaphorical mask of normalcy, establishing himself as a cool-headed schemer and gaining the trust of those around him, despite his rather untrustworthy physical appearance. Even with this mask, Jafar's psychopathic tendencies tend to seep through. Jafar displays narcissistic tendencies, his most obvious ones being his obsessive desire for power and sense of entitlement. However, his lust for power does not stem from a mere desire for authority (though this is a motivating factor), but rather an intolerance for subordination. Jafar detests being "second best" to anyone else—be it the Sultan or a cosmic entity such as the Genie. Jafar is also attracted to Princess Jasmine, but primarily for her physical appearance, and not for Jasmine herself as a person.
