-He does have the muscles though...

-You know, it's also possible that he wasn't chosen because he had some leadership skills, but rather because everyone else on the team had worse leadership skills.

-Potentially. But alas, he's a character so irrelevant to the plot and so secondary good luck watching him get there.

-To be honest, it was probably an adult Grimm, or teenager. And he's basically among the lowest ranking tiers of Hunters. A puny squire will obviously piss himself when confronted by a Dark Knight.
