Before regaining his power, the Dark Lord may have repented of his evil.
Sauron has always been the quintessential villain figure in The Lord of the Rings. Although Tolkien specified that Morgoththe first Dark Lord, He was the most evil being of Middle-earth, Sauron followed him closely, something he demonstrated during the events of the Third Age of the Sun.

However, before reaching the climax that we saw in Peter Jackson's films, Sauron had to rise from the ashes after the final defeat of his master MorgothIn The Rings of Power we are shown how Halbrand deceives the elves in order to regain powersomething that had been lost centuries ago.
Before regaining his power, the Dark Lord may have repented of his evil.
When Morgoth falls in the War of Wrath, Sauron must choose his next step.. In the chapter Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age of The Silmarillion Tolkien captured that Sauron He did not flee after the last battle, but He presented himself before Eönwëthe herald of the Valar, to seek redemption for his actions.

It could be a ruse like the one we have seen in The Rings of Power, but Tolkien specified that “some hold that this was not made falsebut Sauron truly repented, if only out of fear.” However, only Manwëthe King of the Valar, could judge Sauron and forgive his acts.
Manwë approved the redemption of Morgoth after the Battle of the Powers, so He probably listened to SauronMorgoth's goal was to destroy Middle Earth, but Sauron wanted to establish a rigid order that would bring “stability among the races”subduing all peoples through terror.

Sauron knew that He could not complete his task if he left his freedom in the hands of Manwë.hence He ended up hiding from the Valar and continued down the evil path that Morgoth had shown him. The Dark Lord managed to regain his power and He came close to achieving his goal with the existence of the One Ringthe object that Gollum kept would allow him to defeat everything that stood in his way.
