Probably a Beast. I would like the Viking of Stanford Bridge but the very fact that he is unnamed poses a problem. Even Nameless is Emiya and Angra Mainyu is a individual defined as Angra Mainyu. The Viking would simply be... a berserker. Hmm... maybe it would fit as some amalgum gestalt definition of Berserker. King Hassan was Grand Assassin because Assassins are named after him and he personifies everything an "assassin" would be. Same for Solomon and Merlin. Everyone with a passing knowledge of culture and magic knows who Merlin is. Solomon is well known in Jewish circles and is older so he initially got it.

So when you think Rider, Berserker, Saber, Lancer and Archer who is the Ur-example of each? When you think of historical people who rode horses Genghis Khan comes to mind. Lancer? IDK maybe Odin summoned like Orion where he steps down his power enough to be considered summonable? Saber? I dont even know. There are more examples than all the other classes. Archer? Probably Indrajit or something.
