Ashe was an arisen who meant to refuse the dragon's choice and damned the gods and the unending ring, but the dragon of that time took this as him wanting to bring down the Senechal- and, by proxy, the world entire.

The dragon transformed him into a Daimon (An ancient entity. The spelling of the name suggests it to be based on the Greek "Daemon" but by the way it's described in the game makes it seem more close to the Judeo-Christian "Demon." Needs clarification from capcom) so that he could gain the power to destroy the Seneschal by luring other Arisen to Bitter Black Isle to murder them and take their power.

Daimon's second form is considered a mystery at the moment. It could be his pure hatred for the Eternal Cycle given form by the power of the dragon remaining in his body, or something else entirely from beyond the Rift.
