overwatcher
One who monitors
One who watches over something or someone—a guardian, supervisor, or protector.
The term has gained currency through the video game Overwatch, where players defend objectives as heroic agents.
Outside gaming, overwatcher remains uncommon but intelligible: The night overwatcher made his rounds through the warehouse.
