Just putting this out there but cyborg typically means a human (or any living creature, really) that's been augmented (typically with advanced technology). Where is a robot is 100% machine and is built. To say that Pelinal was a time traveller and was augmented perhaps with technology that could even be similar to what the dwemer had access to, isn't so completely far-fetched. That said I take any "lore" that I don't personally experience in-game with a grain of salt.

I really don't care if the same person who created Pelinal and wrote the lore said somewhere that the Divine Crusader is a cyborg (or robot), because if I don't see it in-game, it may as well not be canon. "Killing Light" coming out of Pelinal's hand can also be interpreted in many different ways, given that any destruction or even certain restoration spells used in-game will manifest in the form of light which kills your enemies.
