Hegai

Esther is one young woman among many gathered at the palace in Shushan, and the first person she answers to is a servant named Hegai, spelled Hege in Esther 2:3. He is the king’s chamberlain and “keeper of the women,” and the girls are placed in his custody. Esther 2:15 gives a small, telling detail about her: when her turn came to go to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai suggested. The same verse says she “obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.” Hegai is a minor figure, but the story opens through him.

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
