intercessory
Pleading for another
Intercessory describes acts of pleading or praying on behalf of another person.
The word appears most often in religious contexts: intercessory prayer asks God to help someone else.
An intercessory role involves mediating or advocating between parties, standing in the gap for those who cannot speak for themselves.
