Jafar is a fictional character, voiced by Jonathan Freeman, in the Disney film Aladdin and its sequel, The Return of Jafar. He is an evil sorcerer and the former Grand Vizier of the Sultan of Agrabah. Jafar is tall and thin, and almost always depicted in flowing robes of black, dark red and other moody colors. Jafar has a pet parrot named Iago, who switched sides in The Return of Jafar. Jafar carries a cobra-head staff, which he uses for his sorcery. He tries to use Genie's powers to take over Agrabah, first wishing to become the sultan, and then the most powerful sorcerer in the world....

Iago is the favorite Aladdin character of a great many people. He probably has the best one-line comedy of any character, and he occasionally has a heroic scene (for instance, he is the hero in the Return of Jafar). Mostly, though, he is comic relief, and he does a good job of it. Some of his lines are side-splitting humor, like "Where there's a Genie's brain, there's space to rent." Him and the Genie work best together. One of the better exchanges involving them is listed below: Aladdin: The animals talk! Genie: You mean like Iago, or actual intelligent conversation?
