"What if" Scar didn't die...

What do you think he would've done? Just say miraculously he managed to escape the hyenas, play dead so they would go away, or whatever reason you want to come up with. Do you believe he would try to change his life for the better? Do you think he would try to atone for his crimes against his family and kingdom? Do you think he would leave his past in the past and start a new life? Do you think he'd try to reclaim the throne again?
So many questions..
I personally think that he would try to start a new life. Why? There would be no point in going back. Scar's crazy but he's not stupid. His character is described as scheming, intelligent and manipulative. I think the events that lead up to his death/exile would really phase him. I think he would realize that there would be nothing left for him in a place where he is hated. It would be an even stupider move on his part to try and take revenge on Simba. So in the end, I believe he would try to start over and live what life he has left.
