Charles Turing is an announcer for Zwangzug Broadcasting.

Formerly a student in the Artificial Intelligence University, where he received an honorary degree in programming, Charles was more studious than his broadcast partner Alan Babbage. Charles is most comfortable behind a computer screen: he is known for his work on programming BOB 64, the ZWCOS, and analyzing style modifiers. As an announcer, he is fairly quiet, letting Alan do most of the talking, and timid when it comes to pronunciation of difficult foreign names, giving up in despair at Schorteskatascansolani. Alan teases him mercilessly for this, and makes him comment on the Zwangzug players, whose names he manages more easily. He respects the rules of mathematics to a fault: this is nowhere more evident than his criticism of "exclamatory emphasis" after a number when it could be interpreted as a factorial. Nevertheless, he remains a somewhat recognizable figure across Zwangzug, despite its general disinterest in football.
