The databooks make it explicit that he was rather kind and likely didn't want the extreme tyranny with which he ruled. That doesn't mean he couldn't have that bloodlust by himself, just that Obito made it worse. I mean, we know the Biju have a strong bloodlust in them, and we know that Yagura could control his beast, so perhaps his natural bloodlust synergised well with Isobu's, and perhaps this is the weakness that led Obito to control him.
