NPCs just don't conform to our class system.
Thancred was a Gladiator for in-game purposes only & was never stated to be such a thing. This is because until 2.3 knifes & daggers were associate with Gladiators. He was never seen using a gladiator stance and was just shown using their throwing knife skill from 1.0.
