subduer
Victor over resistance
A subduer is one who subdues—who conquers, overpowers, or brings under control.
The word applies to those who defeat enemies, suppress rebellions, or tame wild things: Alexander was a subduer of nations.
It can extend to anyone who masters difficult forces: a subduer of passions, a subduer of fears.
