Based on his background listed in his bond up, he became a "Counter Guardian" like Shirou did/could have to become Nameless/Archer/Emiya, but in an alternate timeline instead of adpoting Shirou. Counter Guardians are like gods - their power is easily above that of Servants, however they can still be called upon by the Grail/Throne of Heroes, their power is just weakend severely. They also don't/can't die, because they are tied to the lifeforce of Gaia, and only appear when something threatens the planet/all/most life. I think in the grand scheme of the Nasuverse they are like one or two steps down from Primate Murder. There is a bunch of good info on the TypeMoon wikia if you search Primate Murder or Counter Guardians.

Also, we now have "confirmation" that there is a timeline where life was somehow even more shitty for Kerry. Thanks Type-Moon.
