Morphology
perpetuator = perpetuate (transparent) = perpetuate + or
The word 'perpetuator' is transparently derived from 'perpetuate' by adding the agentive suffix '-or'.
Etymology
The word perpetuator comes from the Latin perpetuus, which means 'continuous', and it is related to English words like perpetual and perpetuate which mean 'to make last'. So a perpetuator is someone or something that 'keeps something going' or makes it continue, often used for harmful or bad things.
