Knight or ranger? Your choice; ranger seems a bit more natural. It would be nice (also) to have a Knight from Dol Amroth-- maybe an appearance from a relative of Imrahil, or something similar...?

Ranger is more natural, I would possibly agree... but with Ravion and Erundil, the company seems Ranger-saturated already- though the differences between Arnorian Ranger and Gondorian Ranger might make for interesting drama. Or it might be enlightening to see the flip side of the Ranger coin: where Ravion is older, experienced, and somewhat troubled, Bergil is younger, brasher, and very confidant (having lived through the Siege of Minas Tirith, I don't see him as being too easily shaken).
As to a relative of Imrahil: there are several canonical possibilties. Imrahil has three "canonical" sons. That is, in a geneology for the House of Dol Amroth originally intended for inclusion in the Appendices, he is given three sons: Elphir, Erchirion, and Amrothos, as well as his daughter Lothíriel, who married Éomer. Also, Imrahil is easily old enough for his elder sons to have fully grown, if young, children.
Also, in addition to his sister Finduilas (who wedded Denethor and was the mother of Boromir and Faramir), Imrahil had another sister (from the same geneology): Ivriniel. Whether she wedded and had any offspring is unknown... though I'd say it's a safe assumption that she did. Her children (since she was the eldest child) would probably be in the Boromir/Faramir age range- so 45-55 (but of Númenorean blood) at the time of this tale would seem likely.
