Zaphod Beeblebrox

Hitchhiking our way Around the Internet...

Zaphod Beeblebrox is from a planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse.

He is a "semi-cousin" of Ford Prefect, with whom he "shares three of the same mothers". Due to "an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine", his direct ancestors from his father are also his direct descendants.

Zaphod has two heads, three arms and is "clever, imaginative, irresponsible, untrustworthy, extrovert, nothing you couldn't have guessed". he was breifly President of the Galaxy and is the only man to have survived the Total Perspective Vortex (albeit in an electronically synthesised 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.
