Answer:
Ajatashatru (अजातशत्रु;‘one who has no enemies’) was the second major king of the Haryanka dynasty of Magadha. He was the son of Bimbisara (not to be confused with Bindusara; also known as Shrenika or Seniya) and the grandson of Bhattiya.
He imprisoned (or killed) his own father maybe in 493 BC. He also conquered the republic of Vaishali and Vajji (ruled by Licchavis). The Lichhavi kingdom could be compared to modern democracy, and Ajatashatru sent his trusted minister to create a divide. Ajatashatru also invented war machines like the Rathamusala.
Jain histories mythologize his death (a Deva reduced him to ashes), while Buddhist histories say that he was ruthlessly killed by his own son, Udayabhadra, often associated with Udayin.
[The last ruler of the Haryanka dynasty, Nagadasaka (नागदासक), also known as Darshaka in the Puranas, seems to be an unpopular king who also killed his own father. Nagadasaka was defeated when a revolt attained success, and the next dynasty was Shaishunaga dynasty, its founder being Shishunaga,who was earlier the governor of Kashi under Nagadasaka.]
Ajatashatru’s name is often spelled (without an ‘a’) Ajaat[a]shatru or Ajat[a]shatru due to the schwa deletion in Hindi, just like Kubera is spelled Kuber[a], or Dasharatha is spelled Dash[a]rath[a].
Ajatashatru won a war with the kingdom of Kosala and Kashi also, and this map shows the regions under the Haryanka Dynasty:

The king of Kosala which in later times became known as Awadh (or Oudh) was Prasenajit (known in Pali as Pasenadi), a devout Buddhist. He and his second wife had a son and a daughter. The daughter, Vajira, later married Ajatashatru. Further, Prasenajit’s sister was the wife of Bimbisara, Ajatashatru’s father. But Ajatashatru did not hesitate to declare war.
[The Amar Chitra Katha version says that it was Prasenajit who attacked Ajatashatru because of his anger at Bimbisara’s death at the hands of Ajatashatru.]
Interestingly, the Puranas say that Prasenajit belonged to the Ikshvaku dyansty, the same dynasty to which Lord Rama belonged to. According to the Puranas, Rama was the 62nd king and Prasenajit was the 143rd.
Ajatashatru might have even killed his own step brother to ascend the throne. According to Buddhist sources, he was guided by the evil Devadatta, cousin of the Buddha, and later, after gaining knowledge from the Buddha, repented for his evil acts. He distanced himself away from Devadatta later, though Jain souces have different views.
Ajatashatru strengthened Rajagriha, the capital of Magadha, and built a small fort, Pataligrama, in the vicinity of the Ganges. This was later to become the famous Mauryan metropolis of Pataliputra, which subsequently went on to become our modern day Patna.
In fact, to conclude, Ajatashatru, just like many other kings, was power-hungry, who did not hesitate to kill his relatives for power. And later, according to both Jain and Buddhist sources, he became a ‘good king’. But often these sources magnify a person’s ruthlessness before conversion and goodness/kindness after conversion
