Culprit

A culprit or guilty party was a person who had been accused, charged, or convicted of a crime.

The term "culprit" could also refer to the causative agent of an event. As Phlox took T'Pol's litmus paper for analysis, he said that "Had Riaan been born on Vulcan or Earth, I'm sure she would have made a fine physician. Here's our culprit. The water sample's contaminated with tetracyanate 622." (ENT: "Civilization")
