Alan Babbage is an announcer for Zwangzug Broadcasting.

Formerly a student in the Artificial Intelligence University, where he received an honorary degree in mass media, Alan was never a particularly applied student, much preferring to spend his time hanging out on the beach, tossing around plastic disks. Eventually, this too grew boring, and he came up with the idea that Zwangzug should field its own national football team. A coach was hastily programmed by Alan's future broadcast partner, Charles Turing, and the short-lived Zwangzug Football Association was formed.

An amiable and outgoing broadcaster, Alan is responsible for most of the actual announcing, in contrast to Charles' timid unwillingness to pronounce difficult names, for which Alan ridicules him. Alan also came up with the relatively simple idea to "add one" to numbers less than one in the ZWCOS: this innovation was of such magnitude, however, that he is given equal credit in its programming. Despite Zwangzug's general disinterest in football, he remains a somewhat recognizable figure across the country.

He is currently believed to be in a relationship with Anna Comneno of the Holy Empire.
