One acting on behalf of another (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

agent

proxy

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">one acting on behalf of another</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for agent that I've seen before include "Negotiator" , "Double-zero-seven, for example" , "Delegate" , "factor in Scotland" , "Spy; representative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
