Haman

Esther's villain — the official who tried to commit genocide against Jews and got his own medicine

open_in_new

About

A high official under King Ahasuerus of Persia who developed a personal vendetta against Mordecai (who refused to bow to him) and escalated it to wanting all Jews in the empire killed. He built a 75-foot gallows specifically for Mordecai. He ended up hanged on his own gallows after Esther exposed his plot — a classic case of a plan backfiring spectacularly.
