To my knowledge, Bror was the originator (or at least the figurehead of the originating team) of Illarion, along with a couple of others. Alatar is also well-known for his establishment in this game (he owns this site, though I'm not sure if his only work for the game is through the website).
Bror is no longer around, or so I am led to believe. As for Alatar, he maintains the site and is still an integral part of the community, even if we don't see him much.

Illarion Chapter 1 verse 1: In the beginning, there was Alatar. Alatar had an idea for an mmorpg that was based on real roleplay, and he saw that it was good. From the holy lands of Tibia he gathered others like him, immortals all: Galdriel, Ghorkan, Bror, and Martin.
The very first client was created by Martin and the graphics were by Ghorkan, but it was still very primitive. And so the client was expanded by Bror, and a newcomer named Baldur worked on the server, while Alatar was the webmaster and server administrator. It came to pass that Ghorkan left the project, and so Martin became the primary graphic artist.
And so, early in the year 2000, the first GM characters were created as the first round of players began to play. Those first GM's were: Elurin, Latharan Caine (now known more commonly as Damien), Neonfire, Baldur, Alatar, Bror, Galdriel, Randorr, and Ciryon (the last a mystery to most, but still around today).

Really, if you want to get into the nitty gritty of who had the most to do in the early days with creating Illarion (on a technical level) it would probably be a tie between Bror and Martin.
