Nimrod, in the bible he is the great grandson of Noah, Grandson of Ham, son of Cush.

First man to become great in the earth, he established kingdom in the land of Shinar and became a ruler. According to biblical history and ethnic grouping being of the lineage of Ham would make him what we consider today a "Negro" The phrase "Nimrod a mighty hunter before God" is actually a phrase that means to show defiance. It implies that Nimrod was brave enough to defying God openly and to his face. Nimrod, which means "to rebel" or "be rebellious" is believed by some to not be his true name, but that it was given to him in part because of his rebelliousness as well as getting others to rise up in rebellion. Josephus wrote of Nimrod: "Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness

In the book "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop The Two Babylons: Table of Contents He suggest that the legends of the Assyrian king Ninus is in fact none other than Nimrod.

"Ninus, king of the Assyrians," * says Trogus Pompeius, epitomised by Justin, "first of all changed the contented moderation of the ancient manners, incited by a new passion, the desire of conquest. He was the first who carried on war against his neighbours, and he conquered all nations from Assyria to Lybia, as they were yet unacquainted with the arts of war." The account of Diodorus Siculus entirely agrees with it, and adds another trait that goes still further to determine the identity. That account is as follows: "Ninus, the most ancient of the Assyrian kings mentioned in history, performed great actions. Being naturally of a warlike disposition, and ambitious of glory that results from valour, he armed a considerable number of young men that were brave and vigorous like himself, trained them up a long time in laborious exercises and hardships, and by that means accustomed them to bear the fatigues of war, and to face dangers with intrepidity." As Diodorus makes Ninus "the most ancient of the Assyrian kings,"
The Two Babylons: The Child in Assyria He also states that at death Nimrod was defied and worship by the ancients. Nimrod's "godhood" can also be traced through other cultures gods, from Assyria, to Egypt to Greece all the way down till today:

"Nimr-rod"; from Nimr, a "leopard," and rada or rad "to subdue." According to invariable custom in Hebrew, when two consonants come together as the two rs in Nimr-rod, one of them is sunk. Thus Ninneveh, "The habitation of Ninus," becomes Nineveh. The name Nimrod is commonly derived from Mered, "to rebel"; but a difficulty has always been found in regard to this derivation, as that would make the name Nimrod properly passive not "the rebel," but "he who was rebelled against." There is no doubt that Nimrod was a rebel, and that his rebellion was celebrated in ancient myths; but his name in that character was not Nimrod, but Merodach, or, as among the Romans, Mars, "the rebel"; or among the Oscans of Italy, Mamers (SMITH), "The causer of rebellion." That the Roman Mars was really, in his original, the Babylonian god, is evident from the name given to the goddess, who was recognised sometimes as his "sister," and sometimes as his "wife"
