...The LXX text is complex and variable, but this is not an accurate translation of the Codex Alexandrinus text at this point; in all LXX MSS it seems this list starts with something like "messenger of mighty counsel". Brenton's translation very likely owes more to KJV than is admitted.
Note that the Greek OT (the socalled LXX), as often, varies greatly.
Personally I do not consider it of much relevance, but for background
here is a differing Greek OT text.
“Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty One, Potentate, Prince of Peace, Father of the age to come.”The Septuagint, as found in the Codex Alexandrinus, translated by Sir Lancelot C.L. Brenton, c. 1850.
