"What about historical figures who don't fit into the broad archetypes of the classes" is a valid question, but I'm not sure that we've actually gotten an answer yet. There's a fair few that feel kind of shoehorned, though, and some of those classes are broad these days.
They've also not been afraid to pull out some nutty secret history/syncretism shenanigans to say that, for instance, Anastasia Romanov was secretly a mage all along and thus qualifies as a Caster. If in doubt, the Rider class is also a very broad one. Some of them don't even have particularly famous mounts these days.

Pretty sure every Hindu god could qualify as Rider because they all have named/specified mounts that probably count as Divine Beasts in the Nasuverse.
I maintain Beowulf should have been a Saber, not a Berserker.
What the actual fuck.
Seconded.
Here's hoping we get a proper Scandinavian Saber one day. Grettir Ásmundarson would be my ideal choice. <3

Sigurd Fafnesbane doesn't do it for you? Someone actually historical would be nice, admittedly, but I understand that everything between the Vikings and ABBA is kind of unremarkable to Japan.
The worst thing with Beowulf is how the justification for him being a Berserker is that his author misunderstood the etymology and thought that "Berzerk" came from "Beowulf" when, really, the only thing in common is that they both hint at bears. I get that they were trying to do a F/SN Assassin thing, but they kind of bungled it.
...Well, it's that and also that they kind of just made him Tyler Durden.
I don't care to remember Siegfried's sloppy seconds, no.
TBF, with Vinland Saga finally having an anime I expect the chances of seeing Cnut as a Servant have risen.

Pseudo Servant Jinako hosting Ganesha. Amazing right?
FGO is bad.
Why not both.
That said with his fists as the ultimate end and fallback I feel a Beo whose swords are more a initial layer that's then abandoned is something that should exist. So I think Berserker is fine.
Ganesha is a bad example for Moon Cell shit, but another hero with a axe? a axe count as a sword and for that a Saber? and what a about a club, can a club count as a sword?
Can a big knife or dagger? count as a sword but with the hero in question to don't qualify for Assassin but Saber?
That is more in gripe main about. Archer are easy to classify as is the projectile class, Lancer the spear users and similar looking weapons. Rider the whole concept on mount something.

Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
Hm, it would probably be Hromund Gripsson, Hrolf Kráki or the first Hervor for me.
Eh. He only used bare hands against Grendel, and it wasn't because of any savagery or something like that... But never mind, I've ranted enough about Beowulf already. But really, if what they wanted was a proper Norse Berserker, they should have gone with Egill Skallagrímsson, or maybe Bödvar Bjarki.
Does she actually have two heads, or is that elephant head just a hat or something...?
Thank you You. First answer was surprisingly more simple than I expected.

How accurate of a translation is this?
Ye olde star/planet confusion strikes again, methinks.
Just a hat. But she indeed has 4 arms lol.
Genesis is the actual name of Full Power Enuma Elish?
Yes
