Glorfindel  was one of the mighty of the Firstborn Elves  and was once the Lord of the House of the Golden Flower in Gondolin  After his death, he was re-embodied by the Valar to  act as an emissary. He Was born near tirion in the Noontide of Valinor as a follower of the house of Fingolfin during the Flight of Noldor, Though not participating in the Kinslaying of Alqualonde.

After the First Age Exile, Glorfindel followed Turgon to The kingdom of Gondolin. Earning the  Lord of the House of the Golden Flower, Aswell as One of the Few Captains of the king. Glorfindel was very Popular Among the elves of Gondolin. When  Aredhel  wished to depart Gondolin in search for the  Sons Of Feanor, Turgon appointed Glorfindel,  Ecthellion  and  Egalmoth  t o be her escorts.

We Now Skip to the Fall Of Gondolin, (FA 510)

During the Fall of Gondolin is when Melkors Forces Seiged there Capital. with the help of Maeglin's treachery. Glorfindel and the last of his followers held the Great Market from the  Orcs, in pursuance of ambushing the enemies. However, they themselves were ambushed and fought until a  fire-drake  arrived. Glorfindel and his people cut their way out, but were pursed by the orcs. The House of the Harp arrived to help them, after disobeying their deceitful lord,  Salgant. The House of the Golden Flower regrouped at the Square of the King and was one of the last Houses to fight. As they made their escape through  Cirith Thoronath, one of the  Balrogs  came upon the refugees. Glorfindel leapt forward to face the Balrog, while his followers watched from afar. He fended himself from the Balrog's whip and claws, and successfully hewed its iron helm. At the last moment, he pierced the Balrog's belly and it fell backwards towards the cliff, but it grabbed Glorfindel by his hair and both of them fell into the deep abyss. His body was later borne up by  Thorondor, Lord of Eagles, who flew down into the Abyss to rescue Glorfindel's broken body, returning it to his people who buried him high on the cliffs of the Mountains which surrounded Gondolin. It was said that yellow flowers (possibly celandine) grew on his mound, despite its rocky location.

Why i should be Glorfindel

I did not feel the need to Tell you about glorfindel after he died because of the certain timeline we are set in. Glorfindel being an important character to the Legendarium, Its a intresting character in many ways. being Sent back as a Maia from the halls of Mando's. I think i should be glorfindel because of the character he is and what he Repersents.
