light bringer

Bearer of radiance

One who brings light, literally or figuratively.

The term often carries mythological or religious weight—Lucifer means "light bringer" in Latin, referring to the morning star before the name became synonymous with Satan.

More generally, a light bringer is someone who illuminates darkness, whether through knowledge, hope, or actual fire: Prometheus was the original light bringer, stealing fire from the gods.
