He is a Complete Monster. Being motivated only by envy is not enough to justify his actions to want to KILL his own brother and young nephew. It's not like he was emotionally or was physically abused by Mufasa. As for his supposed origin story, I haven't read it though from what I understand, it's non-canon. Take my word for it.
