Backstory:
Born in secret during the early days of Scar's reign to the King and a - presumably - rogue lioness, she raised him outside of the lands. Nabar gained his scar on an attack from a rival pride, hoping to take over his home for a tactical advantage to be closer to the Pride Lands, however they underestimated the young lion. His mother presumed dead, he lived as a Rogue of sorts for awhile. He knows Scar picked Kovu to be his heir, yet the chosen lion's just a cub. Nabar knows either he or Nuka should be King, though in his eyes it is he who should currently be King.

Personality:

Highly intelligent and manipulative, and motivated by jealousy, much like his father before him.
His ties to family only go so far when his own goals are in mind, and he sees no problem in endangering his siblings' lifes in order to get the attention he so desires. The ends never justify the means for young Nabar, who fails to see the importance in helping others. Despite his avid lust to be the favored son and the king of the Pride Lands, he is lazy and takes little interest in his subjects, willing to bend the rules and put his own interests above those of his subjects. 

In adulthood, he remains much the same, though his sense of plotting has taken a deadly turn. Still jealous and bogged down by feelings of inferiority, Nabar is psychopathic and antisocial, and even less reliant on his family, willing to frame and murder his own family members in order to ascend the throne.

Nabar also suffers from a lack of self-esteem, perhaps one of the main motivations behind his plot to snag the throne. Even in a position of power, he remains vulnerable to bouts of indecision and insecurity, unable to accept criticism and too stubborn to take the advice of his advisers.

Despite his inner insecurities, Nabar is a natural orator with charismatic charm, able to rally the hyenas (and others) to his cause, his smooth talking is not easily overlooked, but when his walls are broken down, Nabar is revealed to be a coward who would prefer to flee from a conflict than face it. When forced into a fight, he can hold his own and is not above cheating, or using dirty tactics. His natural charisma hides a cowardly nature that refuses to accept blame and takes no shame in shoving problems and troubles on other individuals.

Short:
His, Nabar's personality is similar to Scar's own, yet there's more jealousy fueling him and his anger and hatred. Not just towards the Pridelanders, but also towards the Outlanders -  mainly Auntie Zira. And Kovu having been chosen heir...
