As a king and a father, Mufasa is instructive and wise, borne down by years of experience and instruction. He is not strictly business, often playing games with his majordomo Zazu, and is unafraid of showing affection, as seen when he greets Rafiki with a hug prior to the presentation of Simba. Personalityĭespite his majestic exterior, Mufasa is kind-hearted and playful, showing respect for all the creatures, even those who are perceived as lower than himself. Apart from this, Scar and he were made brothers in the final revisions of the script. Also, Mufasa was originally going to not appear again following his death at the stampede, but in the final draft of the film, it was decided to bring back him via Simba's visions as the writers thought that without his presence, Simba didn't have any reason to return to the Pride Lands. In the earlier scripts of the film, Mufasa was to be unrelated to Scar, as Scar was to be a rogue lion who wanted to be king as he was jealous of Mufasa's luck and position. One day, Zazu notices some vultures hovering and he asks Mufasa if he wants to fly over and see what's happening but he is not concerned and decides to nap instead, but he later tells Mufasa that Sarabi is stuck in a pit and can't get out, but Zazu finds a tree trunk, which ultimately saves Sarabi, and Mufasa realizes that Zazu is useful around and he points him as royal advisor, after his father's death he becames the new king of Pride Rock, shortly thereafter he had a son named Simba which causes Scar to become even more jealous knowing that his nephew will inherit the throne someday and he couldn’t. However, Scar became increasingly jealous over his brother’s position, partially due to the venom from his wound, and tries to overthrow him by using his roar, but ends up losing it for doing such.Ī little while later, a red-billed hornbill named Zazu was almost getting cooked alive by the hyenas until Mufasa frightens them off making Zazu thankful and hopes he can be of service to the future king, which he doubts, Zazu eventually follows him around making the future king tired, Zazu disturbs his hunt and his primate time with his future mate Sarabi. In response, Mufasa playfully nicknamed him "Scar," after the facial wound he had received from the incident. He informed Mufasa of his victory over a rogue lion’s attempt to take over the Pride Lands. When the two were adolescents, Askari returned to Pride Rock after a solo patrol in the Outlands.
