Agent of retribution (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

nemesis

avenger

'agent of retribution' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nemesis that I've seen before include "The Greek goddess of divine retribution and vengeance" , "Vengeful justice" , "Retribution personified" , "curse" , "opponent you can't beat" .)

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