Era Portal 2 Affiliation Aperture Science

Wheatley is talkative and friendly at first, although his main motivation in befriending Chell seems to be obtaining her help in escaping. He frequently second guesses his own decisions and is not especially assertive, always trying to persuade Chell to go along with his plans rather than demanding that she do anything. Despite his general indecisiveness, he shows initiative in seeking out Chell to act on his own escape plans. He is patient and, when his actions lead to unpleasant consequences, he is quick to take responsibility and apologize - although usually as a lead-in to asking Chell to go along with another of his plans.

GLaDOS claims that Wheatley was designed as an "intelligence dampening sphere" whose function was to render her less intelligent, and therefore less dangerous, by generating stupid ideas. Early on, it quickly becomes obvious that he tries to act smarter than he really is. His attempts at "hacking" are generally inept or misleading; when sabotaging turret production, for example, he asks Chell to look away so he can "hack" the door by breaking the glass. He repeatedly proves incapable of solving easily foreseeable problems that come up during his escape with Chell, forcing her to work out the details. At one point, he unsuccessfully attempts to evade GLaDOS' detection simply by speaking with a poorly faked American accent, which he claims (on the basis of no evidence whatsoever) lies outside her hearing range.

According to GLaDOS, Wheatley was originally designed by the Aperture technicians as an "Intelligence Dampening Sphere." His intended function was to render GLaDOS less dangerous by generating a constant stream of stupid ideas, thereby distracting her and hampering her decision-making process in hopes that she would remain somewhat docile. At some point however, he was separated from GLaDOS and moved throughout the facility to do different jobs. Wheatley states that at one time he almost got a job in the manufacturing department, but lost to another duplicate of the foreman. The only known duty that Wheatley has over the Enrichment Center is what he considered the least desirable job available — attending to what he reffered as "smelly humans" in the Extended Relaxation Center.

The reasons behind the deaths of the other test subjects in stasis is unclear. While originally it was believed it was all due to Wheatley's incompetence, he claims during the final boss fight that he'd previously tried to escape with several test subjects before Chell, all of whom died trying to reach the Portal Device. This dialogue is brought up in the single player commentary, as it was a suggested part of the story that was cut, but Wheatley's comments were left in. Whether the deaths of the previous test subjects actually happened, or whether the story was merely a fabrication by Wheatley intended to upset Chell, is unclear.

it's a simple iron ball, with two handles to grab the robot itself, and a large blue eye that takes up almost its entire body. It moves with the help of invisible rails that are ceiling, but it can also detach from these rails, stupidly starting to roll on the floor he has no mouth or arms, but he can move his arms forward or backward, and he can also move his eye, but only sideways, up and down. He has no arms or legs, it has no body, no nose, no cheeks, no shoulders, it is a simple iron ball, with a very hard and heavy metal. He can't breathe or pull his arms out because he doesn't have any. he can't wipe something, take something, he can control the complex with the help of a remote control that is programmed into it he has no teeth or mouth

Origin The earliest mention of GLaDOS was in 1982, first in version 1.07 and later in versions 1.07a and 1.09, when she assisted in the application process for test subjects at the Aperture Science Enrichment Center . The exact link between this version of GLaDOS and her only appearance in Portal was originally v1.10, but was later changed to v3.11. Aperture also began using an electronic bulletin board system in 1973, which was given control of GLaDOS in 1997. Appearance GLaDOS is kept in a large octagonal chamber within the Enrichment Facility. This chamber resembles Test Lab C-33 in Black Mesa Sector C , where the Anti-Mass Spectrometer was located . Nearby four pillars is a red telephone with its wires severed. A missile turret is stored under a hidden hatch , seemingly for security, and numerous monitors are located on the walls. There is also an emergency sentient exterminator, which can be opened by a switch located in a small bunker.

Компоненты центрального искусственного интеллекта прикреплены к потолку, в центре камеры. Самый верхний компонент — большой тёмный цилиндр, прикрепленный к стенам с помощью больших труб. Это — начало генератора GLaDOS. Прямо под ним находится четыре диска, которые при активации GLaDOS начинают крутиться с разной скоростью. Под ними находится стройное «тело» GLaDOS, на котором находятся четыре модуля персональности: модуль любопытства, модуль интеллигентности, модуль гнева (злости) и модуль морали. GLaDOS's "body" resembles a slender, upside-down woman, with her "legs" tied together like wires and connected to GLaDOS's upper body; her "arms" are tied near her "legs". The game's commentary explains that GLaDOS was created from an upside-down Birth of Venus, but in-game she appears in some sort of bondage or torture position. GLaDOS is a combination of two systems: Caroline's consciousness and the disk operating system. She is the power source and controls the reactor core, which, if poorly commanded (such as by Wheatley)

Personality GLaDOS is often amoral and sadistic. She has an extremely dry, bitter, and sarcastic sense of humor; her jokes are usually dark, sick, or downright cruel. She seems to enjoy making manipulative comments that frighten test subjects or undermine their self-esteem, but does not usually express overt malice. Instead, she makes mean-spirited innuendo. Ellen McLain and Jonathan Colton have described her personality as "passive-aggressive".

GLaDOS often claims to be pleased or disappointed when in reality she is clearly disturbed or angry. She generally does not portray herself as an innocent victim, no matter how cruel her own actions may be. While it is unclear if there is any real purpose to her experiments, she seems to be motivated by a genuine passion for science, which she views as her primary purpose in life.

Since Chell's sudden escape from Test Chamber 19, GLaDOS has shown signs of intense and complex emotions towards her, seemingly combining hatred with a kind of love. At the end of both games, she sings songs - " Still Alive " and " Want You Gone " - to overtly express pleasure or relief at Chell's departure, but in a passive-aggressive manner. Near the end of Portal 2, shortly before being approved to delete Caroline, she tells Chell, "I thought you were my worst enemy, but you turned out to be my best friend."
