Answer: warrior, but he later embraced peace.
Brief explanation: Early in his reign Ashoka fought expansionary wars — most famously the brutal Kalinga War. The suffering from that conflict led him to convert to Buddhism and adopt policies of nonviolence, moral governance, and public welfare as recorded in his rock and pillar edicts.
