Mark Nicholas Gray
Mark Nicholas Gray MBE is a former colonel in the British Royal Marines, running a floating armoury company in the ocean area subject to piracy based in Somalia and nearby countries.
As a UN observer he prevented a disaster at the Peruća hydroelectric dam during the Croatian War of Independence. The Serbian military raised the level of the lake and placed 30 tons of explosives within the dam in their preparations for withdrawal; detonating the explosives was intended to destroy the dam, which would release a huge surge of water which would have killed or made homeless 20,000 people. Gray, on his own initiative and exceeding his authority, opened the spillway gate and reduced the level of water in the lake by several metres; when the explosives were detonated the dam did not fail.〔(''Dangerous Forces: Dams, Dikes, and Nuclear Stations'' )〕〔(Croatian Memorial Document Center of the Homeland War )〕

Gray was educated at Bradfield College and Durham University, where he studied Russian. He joined the Royal Marines in 1984 and has seen service in Northern Ireland (Operation Banner), Northern Iraq (Operation Provide Comfort 1991), before being deployed to the former Yugoslavia through UNPROFOR.〔(Commanding Officer, Fleet Protection Group Royal Marines )〕
