We didn't know about anything prior to the events of the original trilogy, but even if one just focuses on what he did during the trilogy he personally did worse and appeared just as irredeemably evil as Cinder might look to people now. That is, again, until we knew more about him. It is also fair to say that what we learned about him still wasn't much. What matters is that what we learned significantly altered our perception of him as a character. Everyone here seems to assume a lot of things based off her present behavior and use those assumptions as a basis for their resistance to the idea of redemption.
