defiler
One who corrupts
A defiler is one who corrupts, pollutes, or makes impure what was once clean or sacred.
The word carries moral weight—defilers violate temples, desecrate graves, or corrupt innocence: The invaders were defilers of holy places.
In fantasy contexts, defiler often names a class of villain who corrupts nature or divine order.
