Is there a word meaning, "the one who is responsible." Perhaps "responsiblant" as in, "She is the initial responsiblant of this task."

Your example is ambiguous. Do you mean she is responsible for performing the task (assignee) or she is responsible for seeing that it is done (assigner) ?

Executrix...there's a word you don't see every day (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executor). It seems like responsible party and all its synonyms have legal meanings as well. Maybe she's a Project Manager. JK. Someone will know of a good word, I assume, but you may want to include some of your research effort with your question in order to elicit more answers, more than likely. Welcome and good afternoon.

In addition to the other comments, responsible can also mean the person to blame (e.g. culprit) or the person in charge. What meaning of the word are you using? Your question doesn't distinguish between the two. (Or between assignee and assigner.)

Old joke: Elderly important looking man walks into an office c. 1920, and asks "Who is responsible here?" Office boy: "If you mean the one wot always gets the blame, that's me".

As this is quite ambiguous, as Colm has said, I'm taking it that you mean 'the one who has committed the act'. The closest word I can get here is 'perpetrator', though it obviously won't fit all contexts.
