[edit] History

Arthur Dent was the general manager of Novacom's branch in Odyssey, until he was replaced by Kevin Colburn. He became a "good guy" and helped Jack and Whit find out more about Andromeda.

He seems to have partially known about Andromeda's plan to take over the world but, like many others, turned up his nose at it. His main motivation would most likely be the money he gets for his job. But, when faced with the real facts, he was compelled to turn on Novacom and help Whit, Jack, and possibly even Robert Mitchell bring them down.

[edit] Notes

Arthur Dent may be a reference to the Arthur Dent from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
