interceder
One who intervenes
An interceder is someone who intervenes on behalf of another, typically to plead their case or mediate a dispute.
The word carries a slightly formal or religious tone, suggesting advocacy or petition: She served as an interceder between the feuding families.
Saints are often described as interceders who plead with God for human souls.
