Arthur Dent
About
Along with Ford Prefect, Dent barely escapes the Earth’s destruction as it is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur spends the next several years, still wearing his dressing gown, helplessly launched from crisis to crisis while trying to straighten out his lifestyle.
He rather enjoys tea, but seems to have trouble obtaining it in the far reaches of the galaxy.
In time, he learns how to fly and carves a niche for himself as a sandwich-maker.
