Vickers and Bower share many scenes. And much of it is fighting

"Eventually, Manwë sent him across the sea to Middle-earth during the Second Age. He possibly came as early as S.A. 1200, but more likely in S.A. 1600,[2]:381–382 at the same time as the Blue Wizards.[8] If he arrived in S.A. 1600, he arrived just after the One Ring had been forged, Barad-dûr built, and Celebrimbor dead or soon to be so. While the Blue Wizards were sent to the east, Glorfindel's mission was to aid Gil-galad and Elrond in the struggle against Sauron."
His special power and reincarnation could make him a worthy and direct adversary of Sauron.
"Even if you chose for us an elf-lord, such as Glorfindel, he could not storm the Dark Tower, nor open the road to the Fire by the power that is in him." But this is the third age after Sauron has become a dark spirit on the wind. Equally, Glorfindel may confront Sauron but not succeed, which Gandalf would have known about when he spoke those words at the Council of Elrond.
"Many are the songs that have been sung of the duel of Glorfindel with the Balrog upon a pinnacle of rock in that high place; and both fell to ruin in the abyss." He has form on confrontations.
Glorfindel is also connected to the Witch King, who feared him, and the light of Valinor resides within him.
Celeborn represents a substantial narrative danger he would become part of a love triangle.
Glorfindel can stand up to the nine, whereas Celeborn's words to the company in Lorien are full of woe.
I still think Celeborn is primarily Galadriel's husband. Glorfindel much more.
