According to the Bo Schitt Blog's cast of characters, Chuckles the Cheat (Charles Olsen) worked extensively in programming before the Combine invasion of Earth. As a method of coping for grief he experienced after the Combine takeover, Chuckles learned to alter reality with a simple cell phone. This enables him to use video game cheats in real life, such as Aimbot and Noclip. It is unknown what happens if his phone is destroyed while he is hacking the world around him or himself. Thus hacking has corrupted him.
