vanquisher

One who overcomes

A vanquisher is someone who defeats an opponent thoroughly, especially in battle or competition.

The word carries a literary or dramatic tone—more likely found in fantasy novels or historical accounts than everyday speech: The vanquisher stood over his fallen enemy.

It implies not just victory but decisive triumph.
