My Lion King Forum

Ask Scar anything, he will write you back.

Is Kovu your real son? I've been confused about that for a long time. Everyone says something different!

No, Kovu is not my son. Kovu's father is a rouge male that charmed Zira enough to betray me. I chose Kovu to follow in my footsteps because Nuka was always an embarassment for his mother and I, and Vitani wouldn't necessarily be able to be "King" - although she is more of a man than the other two.

What was the best part of being king, when you had the title?

The best part of being King was the control I had over the Pride Lands. Both the Lionesses and the Hyenas listened to me. I also didn't have to worry about an envious heir. It was my plan to rule until death.

How could you kill your own brother??? When you were cubs you were such good friends!

He broke a promise. The one promise that he couldn't break. From there, everything spiraled down. I wanted to be King so bad, I let no one stand in my way. Not Mufasa. Not Simba.

So, would you say your ambition was the cause of your death? (If you could go back and change anything in YOUR past, would you?)

I would have probably tried to take the throne by myself.

Why did you keep Zazu around after you took control of the pridlands?
