Caroline



An unseen character in the single-player campaign of Portal 2, Caroline was the personal assistant to former Aperture Science CEO Cave Johnson, until later becoming his successor. Not much is known about her character, as she is heard at one point, briefly, through a small portion of Cave Johnson's prerecorded audio messages.

From the recordings, it is clear Cave Johnson holds her in high regard, remarking that "she's the backbone of this facility".

She is also mentioned in chapter 5, "The Escape," when you pick up the turret on the second conveyor belt that says "I'm different." "Prometheus was punished by the gods for giving the gift of knowledge to man. he was cast into the bowl of the earth and pecked by birds." "It won't be enough." "The answer is beneath us." "Her name is Caroline." "Remember that!" "That's all I can say." Then the turret goes in a loop of saying, "Thank you!"

Caroline is voiced by Ellen McLain.
