resurrector
One who restores life
A resurrector is one who resurrects—brings back to life, revives, or restores something dormant or defunct.
The word historically referred to body snatchers who dug up corpses for anatomical study, a grim trade in 18th and 19th century Britain.
In modern use, it typically describes someone who revives forgotten ideas, abandoned projects, or defunct institutions: He became the resurrector of the company's original vision.
