Amakusa Shiro is a folk saint (not offically recognized as a saint by the catholic church but is often considered a saint by people in Japan), so what that means is he normally shouldn't be able to be summoned as a ruler. However, the Einzberns were screwing with the holy grail system, and found a way to summon a servant in either the avenger class or the ruler class. (In normal F/SN, they summon angra and the whole curse thing happens). They choose to summon a servant in the ruler class, and Amakusa was summoned as 1. A real ruler wasn't able to be summoned as the grail didnt summon him itself, and 2. he either had a compatible personality or a catalyst was used (possibly just the land tbh). So basically, he was summoned in the ruler class (which makes him op cause command seals and true name reveals) instead of what im guessing what would be the caster class.

I'm also about 50% sure he didnt have a want for the grail before his rebirth at the end of the 3rd grail war, but i could be wrong.
