Arwin Quentin Hawkhauser, is a fictional character on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. He works as an engineer for the Tipton. He has a crush on Carey, as shown in "The Prince & The Plunger" and many episodes after. Arwin once coached Zack and Cody's basketball team. He hates carrots and is allergic to horses as shown in "Free Tippy." He seems to faint every time something amazing happens to him, for instance when Carey kisses him . It is also shown that he has a picture of Carey in his office that lights up when he claps his hands and also has a cardboard cutout of her. He has appeared in many episodes in both the first and second seasons. He has a penchant for strange inventions that usually end in disaster: however one of his machines did work when the twins were transported to a parallel universe. Unhappily the invention stopped working for him. Arwin was a champion bowler as illustrated by "Bowling". He stopped bowling when he was in a competition, and his mother's obsessive cheering made him nervous. Arwin wants to ask out Carey but is too afraid to ask her. His rival is the St. Mark hotel engineer, Irv Wheldon. It is revealed in "The Prince & The Plunger" that he likes poetry and keeps his socks up with duct tape.

In the episode Christmas at the Tipton Arwin proves to be slightly destructive. It is revealed when he becomes overjoyed when Mr. Moseby allows him to break furniture with a chainsaw.

Arwin stars in a spin-off pilot recently shot for the Disney Channel called Arwin!.

Arwin is like a father figure and friend of the Martin twins.

Arwin sang a song in the Christmas special:

'Joy to the world
Lets burn some chairs
Da Da Da Da Da Da'

He is played by Brian Stepanek. He portrays Arwin in a slapstick, farcical manner, not unlike "Kramer" of Seinfeld fame. He always has tape around his glasses, suggesting they are broken.

He also hosted the 2006 Disney Channel Games with co-host, Phill Lewis.
