While it seems that there are many players in this project, one stands clear as the "...the man entrusted by Alfred Nobel with the task of making sure his legacy was carried out as specified in his will."

If the account on this site is to be believed, that man is Ragnar Sohlman.

WTG Pam! Ragnar was his favorite assistant at the time of his death and one of the two people sent to retrieve the will and execute it.
