Scar is the main antagonist was a male lion. He was the king of Pride Rock who succeeded Mufasa and preceded Simba. He was the younger brother of Mufasa and the uncle of Simba.
In his youth, Scar was tasked with leading the Lion Guard, a legendary group of lions who defended the Circle of Life and protected the Pride Lands. As the group's leader, Scar was gifted with a powerful roar called the Roar of the Elders. Over time, his power and position led him to believe that he should be king instead of his elder brother, Mufasa. As a result, he tried to stage a coup with the rest of his Lion Guard, but they refused to assist him in his plot. In retaliation for their insolence, Scar destroyed them with the Roar of the Elders, but this cost him its use forever, for it could only be used for good.
In the seasons after the Lion Guard's downfall, Scar continued to vie for his brother's throne. After the birth of his nephew, Simba, Scar made plans to dispose of both Mufasa and Simba. With the help of his hyena minions, he set off a wildebeest stampede that threatened Simba's life and thus lured Mufasa into danger. Mufasa managed to rescue Simba, but when he climbed up the side of the gorge toward safety, he was intercepted and thrown to his death by Scar. After Mufasa's fall, Scar convinced Simba that he was to blame for the death, after which he drove the cub into self-exile.
With Mufasa and Simba purportedly dead, Scar became the new king of Pride Rock. Under his reign, the hyenas invaded the Pride Lands, and the kingdom slowly fell into ruin. Eventually, a full-grown Simba returned to Pride Rock and challenged Scar for his throne. A battle ensued, during which Scar made one last attempt on Simba's life. However, he was promptly defeated and thrown from the summit of Pride Rock. Upon landing at the base of Pride Rock, he was surrounded by the hyenas, who turned on him and ate him alive amidst a fiery blaze.
Many seasons after Scar's defeat, Ushari and Janja summoned his spirit in a volcano in the Outlands. With Ushari's help, Scar formed an army of Outlanders to take on his great-nephew, Kion, and the Pride Lands' new Lion Guard. In an effort to send Kion down a dark path, Scar ordered Ushari to bite him and inflict him with a scar of his own. However, Scar was ultimately destroyed for good when Kion summoned the Great Lions of the Past to judge him for his past crimes. With Scar defeated, his army swiftly fell.
Meanwhile, Zira led a pride of lions who remained loyal to Scar in spite of Simba's ascent to the throne. Over the seasons, she trained her son, Kovu, to become a cold-blooded killer who was capable of assassinating and overthrowing Simba. However, when Kovu fell in love with Simba's daughter, Kiara, he rejected Scar's legacy and joined Simba's pride instead.
