bringer

Bearer of things

A bringer is someone or something that brings—delivers, conveys, or causes something to arrive.

The word appears almost exclusively in compounds or phrases: bringer of bad news, bringer of death, bringer of light.

It has a slightly formal or literary quality; in casual speech, people more often say "the one who brings."
