As a kid, Scar was called Taka, which relates to garbage. Can you imagine your parents calling you something like that? Of course he hates Mufasa if they not only called Scar such garbage and chose Mufasa as king over him. Scar's had a hard life, that turned him into a sociopath.

Don't trust me? It's in the books.
