Glorfindel. I am not sure, radagastly, where you get that information that the fact that he was sent back has any connection with the Council - there surely were many who could have been in the Council and were not.

I didn't mean to suggest that Glorfindel was sent back to Middle Earth specifically to join the Council of the Wise, but that his purpose was similar to that of the Istari, except with less innate power but more power to act. He was there to help in the fight against Sauron, else he would probably not have been asked to go. He may have volunteered, of course, to leave the West and return for a time, but in the end, it's the same. He was there to fight and advise in the struggle against Sauron, that's all.
