Title: Who should you get to represent your book? 

Elvish warrior or Literary agent 

A  large venn diagram of two overlapping ovals.

In the Elvish warrior's section:

1. Can talk to trees and sense evil 

2. Possesses an enchanted Blade 

3. Centuries of experience 

In the central overlap section for both:

1. Trusted And honest advisor 

2. Protection From cutpurses and brigands 

3.  Loyal companion 

In the Literary Agent's section:

1. Good Relationships With publishers

2. Great eye For contracts 

3. Pays For lunch 

Tip: if possible, get both. But if forced to choose, lunch probably swings it for the agent.
