Re: Evil hamster
No hamster is evil, if they bite it is either fear or stress that causes it or cage aggression which amounts to the same thing.
Do you have a safe play area where you can get him out to have some out of cage time? Seeing & enjoying your ham doesn't have to involve handling them, at least not to start with.
If you can set up a play area for him that he can explore & enjoy while you just watch & talk to him I'd do that for now.
Just stick to the gloves or use something he'll climb into to get him out of the cage for now.
How is his cage set up, does he seem happy with that, enough space, substrate, enrichment & a big enough wheel?
Some hams don't get to like being handled much but most will tolerate it to some extent with time & patience.
