Why was Clodius Pulcher such an ahole? And was he really that good looking?

I cannot forgive him for what he did to Cicero, and his violation of the ceremony of the Bona Dea. And then this abusive behavior towards Pompey at the behest of Marcus Licinius Crus. I say fik him! I am glad that Titus Annius Milo whooped him down in that street fight in 52BC. But the question is, what drove him to be such a prik? Was he simply a stooge being used by Caesar, or was he genuinely a grade A clified knob? And I also can't understand why Cicero was so taken with his sister Claudia just bkoz she had ox eyes. Fik Clodius I say!
