Why Fingil?
Fingil will want to be chosen rather than Glorfindel because although he is a brave and mighty warrior, he is not trained in stealth. When with the Dunedain, Fingil tracks and moves through the forest silently. He also has to avenge his father, but that will not lead him to be rash. He would rather get one over the orcs than kill and end up getting killed.
He has great respect for Elrond and Celebrian was kind to him after his parents death and departure. He will want to repay her in anyway possible, even if it cost his life.
Is that OK?
