conciliator
One who mediates
A conciliator is someone who brings opposing parties toward agreement, easing tensions and seeking compromise.
The role suggests patience and diplomacy rather than force: The mediator served as conciliator between the feuding families.
Unlike an arbitrator, a conciliator has no power to impose a decision—only to smooth the path toward one.
