Iago (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried, Alan Tudyk in the live-action film) is the pet and sidekick to Jafar, and later Aladdin, after a reformation. He is comical and sarcastic, and appears as a sort of cantankerous counterpart to Aladdin's monkey, Abu.
Iago appeared in the original film as a sidekick to the first main villain of the franchise, Jafar, functioning both as comic relief and the secondary antagonist.
Jafar is a tall, bony, middle-aged man dressed in extravagant clothing, always seen carrying a gold, ruby-eyed, cobra headed staff to supplement his magical powers.
Aladdin battles Jafar (who has turned into a giant cobra) and taunts him with the fact that he is only the second-most powerful being on Earth after Genie, who was the one who gave him his power in the first place and can very easily take it away.
The results of this research show that both Jafar character in Aladdin movie and Cinderella's Step Mother in Cinderella movie suffer Narcissistic Personality Disorder, specifically with the type of Malignant Narcissismbased on the symptoms that identified in both characters.
Disney has released a bunch of new photos from the live-action remake of Aladdin, revealing our first looks at the villainous Jafar and the beloved monkey sidekick, Abu.
Jafar. "Trust me, my pungent friend, you'll get what's coming to you." "My life is but to serve you, my lord." "Your father has charged me with keeping peace in Agrabah.
He manipulates the Sultan, believes that other lives besides his own are worthless, and creates quite a ruckus when he finally becomes an all-powerful sorcerer.
The biggest and most memorable moment from the animated movie is when Jafar transforms into a giant snake near the movie's end. Aladdin calls Jafar a cowardly snake, causing the villain to transform into a larger version of his beloved staff.
Nasira guaranteed her twin brother Jafar in taking their revenge on Aladdin. Nasira is the main antagonist of the 2001 Disney videogame Aladdin: Nasira's Revenge. She is Jafar's fraternal twin sister who tried to resurrect him in the game, and bears many similarities to the fairy witch Maleficent.
Jafar's Snake Staff is a cobra-headed scepter owned by Jafar, in Aladdin. Initially and primarily used as a means of hypnosis, the ruby eyes made those who gazed into them become susceptible to Jafar's suggestions and obey his every order.

It was eventually destroyed by Aladdin when he discovered its true function.
Though he presents himself as a thoughtful political counselor, Jafar has devious ulterior motives: he wants to steal the throne and rule Agrabah under his own iron fist. His plan to seize power includes brainwashing the Sultan, marrying Princess Jasmine, and taking out anyone who stands in his way.
Contrastingly, Disney tries to make the fact that Aladdin speaks Standard English in the movie, superior to Jafar's use of language, due to his dialect. Such a political undercurrent of dialect is present in Aladdin, as Aladdin's humanity and dialect is viewed with greater trust in respect to Jafar's Arabic dialect..
However, Iago tried to attack Jafar in Aladdin's defense. The sorcerer managed to hit Iago and nearly killed him, but the bird managed to muster up enough strength to kick his former master's lamp into the lava, destroying the lamp and killing Jafar for good.
In Aladdin (1992), Jafar 'steals' the Sultan's ring, stating he will use it to find Jasmine's suitor. While his intention was to find the 'diamond in the rough', he also found Jasmine's eventual husband.
Jafar reads aloud from the ancient scroll he so cleverly doctored, and proclaims that now he must become Jasmine's husband, and – most importantly – the next sultan! Jasmine and the Sultan try to stop Jafar, but to no avail, for Jafar now holds the power of the lamp.
Jafar has no morals at all. He's willing, even eager, to kill Aladdin. He wants to become Sultan because he's a complete megalomaniac who can never be satisfied. He wants his revenge on the present Sultan - under whom he has risen to the role of Grand Vizier, because he was born into the position.
