 '''Zaphod Beeblebrox''' is from the fifth planet of [[Betelgeuse]].
@@ Line 6: / Line 6: @@
 Zaphod has two heads, three arms and is "clever, imaginative, irresponsible, untrustworthy, extrovert, nothing you couldn't have guessed". He was also briefly President of the Galaxy. His responsibility in that position was to draw attention away from the true rulers of the universe. To that end, Zaphod and his outrageous behavior were highly successful. And he&nbsp;is the only man to have survived the [[Total Perspective Vortex]] (albeit in an electronically synthesized universe which was created especially for him). He used his position as President of the Galaxy to steal the [[Heart of Gold]], a spaceship taking advantage of [[Infinite Improbability Drive]], at its unveiling. He is also the inventor of the [[Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster]], and is the only person alive who can drink more than three in a single sitting.
-In the first book, he mentions that his third arm was added on to help with his ski-boxing.  In the radio show it seems that the third arm is part of his species that has an opt in policy, since he grows it back for Trillian.  In the movie, Zaphod states that the second head is the result of carving in his brain. In the books Zaphod did this to conceal his true reason for running for President, a major scheme which makes us the majority of the seond book and follows into others.  While other media have claimed his head was always there (the Text Adventure Game, also written by Douglas Adams claimed that Arthur only did not see it at the party they met was that it was a fancy dress party and Zaphod had disguised his second head as a parrot so as to complete his Pirate costume,) the movie states it was the result of the carving, which had been done because Beeblebrox did not think "anyone can be President with a full brain."

 Zaphod has a successful business in secondhand biros. This may be due to his discovery of a planet where biros escape to to live a nice biroey life. If so he employed a man to sit on this now empty planet denying the whole thing.

 In the radio, LP and television versions of the story Arthur is played by Simon Jones, no relation to Peter Jones, the voice of the Guide. In Ken Campbell's stage production from 1979, Chris Langham took the part. In the [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film)|theatrical movie]] he is played by Martin Freeman. In ''The Illustrated Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'', he is portrayed by Jonathan Lermit.

 Arthur apparently dies in the fifth installment of the book series, ''[[Mostly Harmless]]'', at a restaurant called Stavro Mueller Beta when the Earth and all its duplicates are simultaneously destroyed by the Vogons. Adams frequently expressed his distain for this ending in retrospect, claiming that it was too depressing and came about as the result of him having a bad year. He had planned to write a sixth book before his death, but never got around to it. Eoin Colfer was recently hired by Penguin Books to write a final installment, entitled ''And Another Thing''. In this book, Arthur is saved along with Ford, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Random by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged.
 In the radio series, Arthur does not die, but rather is saved by the Babel Fish, which can teleport itself, along with its carrier, out of danger.

 == Left Brain ==
 In the semi-official [[Eoin Colfer]] novel ''[[And Another Thing...]]'' Zaphod has his second head (apparently the more intelligent one) detached and functioning as the ''[[Heart of Gold]]'' computer, replacing [[Eddie the Computer|Eddie]]. This leaves the still attached Zaphod a little slower witted but it is noted that Left Brain being in charge of the ship has decreased the amount of accidents that would have been caused by Eddie. Left Brain and Zaphod develop a semi-antagonistic relationship despite still working with each other. At the end of the novel they are both working on Zaphod's presidential re-election campaign. Ford was also able to freeze Left Brain in a logic debate over the improbability of the ''Heart of Gold'' saving him and Arthur from doom near Earth twice after the ship saves them from the [[Grebulon]]'s death beams.

-Despite being described as "your plastic pal who's fun to be with", Marvin is a severely depressed robot. He's regularly so depressed that, when he gets bored and talks to other computers, they commit suicide and die, as was the case for a robotically controlled police ship (which resulted in the asphyxiation of two policemen) and a bridge which killed everyone on it. This is due to the "Genuine People Personality" he received while he was being manufactured by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation (Marvin's is a personality prototype). Marvin also dislikes the cheerful GPP doors that were built into the spaceship [[Heart of Gold]].

Marvin also dislikes the cheerful GPP doors that were built into the spaceship [[Heart of Gold]].
 Marvin's brain is the size of a planet (in fact because of this, he is eternally bored because nothing takes up his entire mind), enabling him to calculate the probability of just about anything. However, when he bothers to share the probability to those around him, they tend to ignore him because he usually just ends up depressing them.
 In his spare time, which has been legend because any time that he commits to thought processes necessary to perform any assigned duties takes up such a small percentage of his brain, and with all of the traveling through space and time performing assigned duties have rendered him many times over the span of the universe, he has been known to write and sing songs; just not very good ones and not very well.
