Haman

Haman is a figure from the Jewish Book of Esther, historically portrayed as a high-ranking official who harbored deep hatred for the Jewish people. He devised a plan to annihilate the Jews living in Persia, but his scheme was thwarted when Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai intervened. Haman's hostility and his attempt to exterminate the Jews have made him a symbol of malicious intent and prejudice. His story is commemorated during the Jewish festival of Purim, which celebrates the salvation of the Jews from his plot.
