Johann von Staupitz.

He was Luther’s spiritual mentor and the Vicar General of the Augustinian order while Luther lived and worked as a monk. The others on your list played different roles: Leo X was pope, Cajetan and Eck interrogated/debated him, Tetzel sold indulgences, Erasmus was an influential humanist (not his monastic mentor), and Frederick the Wise was his political protector.
