“ | What remains of a man, when that man is dead and gone? Only memories and stories of his deeds will linger on But if a man's accomplishments aren't in the tale they tell Are the deeds that go unheralded his legacy as well? If a war breaks out tomorrow, we'll all have hell to pay Why protect my reputation? I'm a dead man either way How will they tell my story? How will they tell my tale? Will anybody even care? The question then is whether 'tis nobler in the mind To be well liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned? I'll never be a hero! All the citizens adore But if I hide to save my life what has my life been for? What has my life been for? The road ahead may twist, but I will never swerve I'll give them all the unsung anti-hero they deserve I've nothing left to lose So the only path to choose is twisted And then twist my words, let the people scorn me Who cares if no one will ever mourn me? Let them bury the side of the story they'll never learn Let the truth be twisted Let my life be twisted I'll be twisted It's my turn... |

~ Ja'far singing "Twisted". |
Ja'far is the main protagonist in StarKid's seventh musical Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. The musical follows a "twisted" retelling of the 1992 Disney film, Aladdin, from the view of that film's villain, Jafar.
He was portrayed by Dylan Saunders.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- He sacrificed him to become a genie to save The Magic Kingdom.
- He shows compassion for everyone and tries to treat everyone with respect and value.
- He says Sherrezade is still beautiful after having her ear cut off and when she calls him "young master" he says he is not a master and that he would take care of everyone.
- He tries his best to be a vizier even promising to fix the socioeconomic inequality in the kingdom.
- He stands up for his wife to the Sultan after he "claims" her.
- He tries to make Aladdin realize his evil ways and try to redeem himself.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- He has jerk moments such as calling Aladdin old and fat when Sherrezade shows him Aladdin's future and also lights up after hearing that he would be killed by thieves over a loaf of bread at 55. (However, this is a minor prevention).
Trivia[]
- He is based off of Jafar, who is a Villainous Benchmark.
- He is not the only Disney villain to be a hero or anti-hero as other Disney villains appear heroic and Disney Heroes appear villainous.
