Haman is the villain of the book of Esther. A vizier of King Ahasuerus, he planned a genocide against the Jewish people, but his plans were thwarted by Esther and her uncle, Mordekhai. As a descendant of the nation of Amalek, the first nation to attack the Israelites soon after they left Egypt, Haman comes from a long line of enemies of the Jewish people.
