One who takes prisoner (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

captor

(Other definitions for captor that I've seen before include "One who confines another" , "To carp (anag)" , "Person who has taken another prisoner" , "kidnapper, perhaps" , "Guard" .)

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