Ford Prefect

Ford Prefect is a roving reporter for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

His most recent assignment was to an insignificant planet in an unfashionable end of the galaxy. He chose his name in the belief that he would blend nicely in to the native culture .

Intending to stay for a week, he was stranded for fifteen years.

He chose his name in the belief that he would blend in to the native culture nicely. This was a slight translation problem.

Although sometime worse for wear due to excessive consumption of Ol' Janx Spirit, he always knows where his towel is.
