Who was more powerful? Glorfindel or Ecthelion? Ecthelion defeated the greatest Balrog and leader of Morgoth's armies, but Glorfindel defeated a Balrog nonetheless, and sacrificed himself to save many others. Plus Glorfindel fought on harder terrain. And was Orcrist Ecthelion's sword? Sting his main gauche (short left hand sword)? If so did he use them to kill Gothmog? Since Glorfindel's will was strengthened by his sacrifice and he saw Valinor, and came back, my guess would be him. But Ecthelion defeated the single most powerful thing in Melko's army.
