revealer
One who discloses
A revealer is someone or something that makes hidden information known or brings concealed things to light.
The word appears most often in religious contexts, where God or a prophet serves as a revealer of divine truth, and in puzzle contexts, where a revealer is the clue or answer that unlocks the theme of a crossword.
The final across entry was the revealer that tied everything together.
