Did Scar Hate Mufasa?

Scar's hatred for Mufasa is so deep that he even made it illegal for anyone to mention his name in his presence, particularly in terms of favoritism. Despite being killed by Scar, Mufasa doesn't seem to hold any grudge against his younger brother never getting mad when Scar's name is mentioned.

Why was Scar so mad at Mufasa?

According to A Tale of Two Brothers, Scar was the second born son of Ahadi and Uru. He was once named Taka (meaning "waste" or "want" in Swahili). He became upset when he learned his older brother Mufasa was chosen to be king over himself.

Did Scar want Mufasa killed?

Originally first-in-line to Mufasa's throne until he is suddenly replaced by Mufasa's son Simba, Scar decides to lead an army of hyenas in his plot to take the throne by killing Mufasa and exiling Simba, ultimately blaming his brother's death on his nephew.
