Haman.
It doesn't end well for Haman, but the gripping story of how his lust for power and fame was his undoing is well worth reading.
The book of Esther gives the background for the Jewish festival of Purim.
Even though Haman once had great wealth and fame, today he is reduced to a cookie. During Purim, many Jewish families make Hamantaschen as a way to remember the story.
Above is a painting by Rembrandt of Haman having dinner with the King and Queen Esther just before Esther reveals his plot against her people.
