The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a number of importent characters. Possibly the most importent character besides Arthur Dent is Ford Prefect. Ford is an alien posing as a human on earth. He becomes a friend of Arthur, and then warns him of the destruction of earth. Jumping from ship to ship, Ford then helps guide Arthur through space. The Vogons also played a large role in the story. They were the aliens sent to blow up the earth. This was the first ship that Arthur and Ford were stowaways aboard.
