He'd be a Caster the same way that Shakespeare is a Caster in Apocrypha, and while at first glance it might seem like there's a massive power discrepancy between him and many of the other characters mentioned so far, lemme explain why I think it doesn't matter.

The Caster class isn't about martial power, it's about magic and manipulation. Caster!Robinton is going to use magically-amped song, story, and sheer charisma to persuade you to his point of view. We don't have to fight, you know. Surely there's a better way to settle things. And, if we get the Grail, things will be better for everyone. Come, have a glass of wine with me and listen to what I propose...

And, if that doesn't work, there's always his Noble Phantasm, which I'm gonna call Friends in High Places. One thing that marks Robinton out as a unique person is that even the dragons of Pern recognize him and honor him. Dragons spoke to him to keep him from slipping away after his heart attack—and that's not a thing they just do, ever. If he gets into trouble, guess who's coming to help? ^_^

I reckon he'd be on board with my wish, too, which I've put a lot of thought into. As I understand it, the Grail can only carry out your wish by means you yourself are capable of imagining, so with the help of the Masterharper, I'm gonna come up with an air-tight way to ask for all the governments of the world to be bound to prioritize education for all, health & safety & civil rights (these things are intrinsically linked), and the environment henceforth. That way, we MIGHT be able to pull ourselves out of the mess we've made of things without any overly drastic upheaval.
