redeemer
One who rescues
A redeemer is someone who redeems—who saves, rescues, or recovers something of value.
The word appears in contexts ranging from financial to spiritual: a redeemer of pawned goods, a redeemer of captives held for ransom.
More abstractly, a redeemer delivers others from sin, error, or misfortune: She became a redeemer for the troubled organization. (Capitalized Redeemer refers to Jesus Christ.)
