Someone else entirely. Jafar was busy genie-hunting and apparently killing peasants in Agrabah to do anything else. Plus, he hasn't show shapeshifting powers yet. If timeline serves correctly, then Jafar was villainous with Snake Staff (which is Amara) for a few years before the curse, but not much more. Jafar's timeline should legit go like:

4-3 BC Betray Amara, En route to last genie

3-2 BC (Probably something with Aladdin)

1 BC Head to Wonderland, set up his tower, capture Cyrus, and team up with Ana

Dark Curse

1 AC Wonderland

Hyde doesn't seem the kind of person who can do much magic than the scientific kind and he was underneath Jekyll and likely in the LoUS for years. Wasn't made Warden in a day. XD
