During his glory days, Asoka was (in my opinion) a spoiled brat; he was fierce and was short-tempered, so he didn't take kindly to being refused by those who he felt should've listened to him. As a result, he caused a lot of harm to those who didn't deserve it. But after realizing that there was blood on his hands, he tried to redeem himself by converting to Buddhism and becoming a much more positive version of himself.
