Agrippa needed him as he didn't have the clout or birthright to be emperor.
I would put Trajan right up there with Augustus or underneath him.

Both pretty good examples of the effectiveness of the Roman habit of emperors "adopting" their heir as emperor. Though in Trajan's case at least I think the guy that a adopted him was given a little push by the army.
