The Ecthelion in my game (and stories) is named after the Elf captain of Gondolin in Tolkien's middle earth. He doesn't play a very prominent part but is greatly distinguished by his deeds at the last stand of the House of Hador and, more notably, the fall of Gondolin. It was he who slew and was slain by Gothmog the Balrog, the high-captain of Angband. Denethor's father was undoubtably named after this Ecthelion as was the character in IWD2. It was the cool sound of the name that inspired me to choose it though. Tolkien was quite good at coming up with cool names.
