He is the President of the Galaxy (full title President of the Imperial Galactic Government), and the inventor of the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster, the best drink in existence, whose effects are described by the Guide as ‘similar to having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick’.
