'''Wheatley''', {{spoiler text|known by GLaDOS as the '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere'''}}, is a [[Cores#Personality Cores|Personality Core]] of male programming and English West Country accent who first appears in ''[[Portal 2]]''. He is [[Chell]]'s guide through the first part of the game, and helps her to find a way to escape the facility.

Wheatley is voiced by British actor and comedian {{W|Stephen Merchant}}.

{{spoiler text|During the course of the game, Wheatley aids Chell into escaping from [[GLaDOS]]' tests. The two eventually sabotage GLaDOS' turret production line and neurotoxin and later confront GLaDOS herself. A core transference occurs and Wheatley takes over the facility. When he is about to let Chell escape, Wheatley becomes corrupted with power and becomes the game's new main antagonist. Wheatley reconstructs GLaDOS' hardware on to a potato battery and knocks both her and Chell into [[Aperture Science|Aperture Science's]] old and forgotten test chambers by accident.}}

{{spoiler text|After returning from the old test chambers, Chell and GLaDOS learn that Wheatley's actions are causing the facility's reactor to approach a nuclear meltdown. After passing through more test chambers made by Wheatley, he attempts to kill Chell and GLaDOS. After escaping his traps, GLaDOS suggests causing a new core transfer by implanting corrupt Personality Cores into Wheatley.}}

{{spoiler text|Chell enters Wheatley's lair to begin the final confrontation of the game. By shutting him down temporarily with bombs, Chell corrupts Wheatley enough to initiate a new core transference, saving the facility from destruction in the progress. However, a stalemate occurs when Wheatley does not agree to transfer himself, and Chell must press the stalemate resolution button to finalize the transfer. However, Wheatley had booby trapped it with explosives, and Chell is flung from the button. Chell survives and launches a portal onto the surface of the Moon, causing both her and Wheatley to be sucked into space. GLaDOS then reacquires her old body and rescues Chell while letting Wheatley be launched into the vacuum of space.}}

{{spoiler text|Wheatley is last seen in the epilogue after the end credits, with the [[Cores#Space Core|Space Core]] orbiting him, where he wishes he could say he was sorry for all he did to Chell.}}

== Trivia ==

* {{Spoiler|Video game-wise, Wheatley appears to be an upgraded version of GLaDOS' Intelligence Core (the one telling the [[cake]] recipe), with a blue "eye" and three dots, though Wheatley has dots only on his right side. From early screenshots and the ''Portal 2'' E3 teaser trailer, the model also appears to have been greatly improved and more detailed, with a wider range of emotions.}}

* Wheatley's {{W|Cockney#Cockney_speech|Cockney accent}} heard in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYsAklh4uqQ "Meet Wheatley" video shown at E3 2010] uses a placeholder voice provided by [[Valve]] animator [http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,55298/ Richard Lord].<ref>[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/06/portal-2-wheatley/ ''Portal 2'' Gains a Talkative Companion] on Wired.com</ref> Due to very positive feedback, Valve considered at some point making the voice official.<ref>[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=21890104&postcount=83 ''Portal 2'' E3 gameplay video (single post)] on the NeoGAF forums</ref> Later Lord himself emphasized that his voice was temporary, saying that "theres no way you will be dissapointed with the final voice - i'm over the moon with who it might be." [sic],<ref>[http://lastoutpostofsanity.com/2010/06/tempvoice/ "Temp voice!"] on Last Outpost of Sanity, Richard Lord's official blog</ref> until it was announced that Stephen Merchant would provide the final voice.<ref>[http://pc.ign.com/articles/109/1095842p1.html Gamescom: ''Portal 2'' gets Stephen Merchant] on ComputerAndVideoGames.com</ref>

Kotodama1:

I think it's worth mentioning that Wheatley's "unique" mind so "uniqie" so he is only known A.I. who got resistance to paradoxes, unlike GladOS, turrets and even Frankenturrets. --[[User:Comrade Suhov|Comrade Suhov]] 15:18, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
:Unique in the sense that he's stupid yes. I see his personality isn't well explained in the article, someone should elaborate.

Don't you think, guys, that this picture is spoiler, even without description? Maybe script will automaticly hide spoiler images? (Something like document.getElementById("spoilrpic").style.opacity = 1){{unsigned|Daniil}}
: The picture is already marked as a spoiler, just flick the sploiler button and it becomes blacked-out. - [[User:RJackson|RJ]][[File:User RJackson Pixelturret.png|link=User:RJackson|top]] [[User talk:RJackson|talk]] 11:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
