Attack's initiator (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aggressor

(Other definitions for aggressor that I've seen before include "Assailant" , "The one who starts the fight" , "pirate comes into view" , "The one who attacks first" , "The one who "started it"" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
