Left Arm is a minor character in The Fifth Element who serves as Jean-Baptiste Zorg's left arm man, handling the legitimate business affairs of Zorg Industries and dismissing employees when needed.
Biography[]
He is first seen approaching Zorg to bring up a concern from the council of Federated Territories who are worried about the economy heating-up and request that Zorg lay off employees before things get worse, with Left Arm suggesting that they lay off at least 500,000 from the smaller cab companies under Zorg Industries. However Zorg instead demands that Left Arm fire one million employees, but Left Arm says 500,000 would be enough but stops himself as he notices Zorg becoming displeased at being questioned. Left Arm then quickly corrects himself to one million and hurriedly runs off in fear of his boss. Left Arm then has one million dismissal notices sent out to the cab company employees, including Korben Dallas.
Left Arm's fate after the death of Zorg remains uncertain.
