{{Quotation|'''Wheatley'''|I'll wait--I'll wait one hour. Then I'll come back and, assuming I can locate your dead body, I'll bury you. Alright? Brilliant! Go team! See you in an hour! Hopefully! If you're not... dead.|sound=Wheatley_sp_intro_03_afterfallalt09.wav}}

'''Wheatley''', {{spoiler|once an '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere''' attached on [[GLaDOS]]}}, is a raw [[Cores#Personality Cores|personality core]] of masculine programming and English West Country accent who appears in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]''.

He serves as the game's {{W|deuteragonist}}, guiding [[Chell]] through her efforts in escaping the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. {{spoiler|However, half-way through the game he and GlaDOS switch roles as she becomes Chell's deuteragonist and Wheatley becomes the game's main antagonist.}}

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

== Background ==
{{spoiler|Wheatley was designed to be an Intelligence Dampening Sphere, one of the [[Cores#Personality Cores|cores]] to be attached on GLaDOS in order to "generate an endless stream of terrible ideas" as a means of delay or stop her unpredictable actions on the Enrichment Center. Although it was never explained, Wheatley was disconnected from her and given other jobs. Sometime before [[GLaDOS]] killed off the entire staff in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic, Wheatley had worked alongside staffs before he was put into storage with other cores seen at the end of ''[[Portal]]''. After a few years, though under unknown circumstances, he was put into deactivation along with many other personality cores and kept in storage.}}

{{spoiler|Thanks to [[Chell]]'s havoc on the Enrichment Center via the destruction of GLaDOS at the conclusion of ''Portal'', Wheatley and the rest of the cores were reactivated in order to maintain the facility. Ironically, this backfired as many cores (except Wheatley and the [[Cores#Corrupted Cores|corrupted cores]] seen at the end of the game) appear to have been either killed off or ran low on power.}}

Prior to the events of ''Portal 2'', Wheatley took charge of maintaining the [[Extended Relaxation Center]] - which houses test subjects in long-term cryogenic stasis before and after they are put through the testing courses. However, what he has done to actually manage the entire wing remains unmentioned. It was only until many centuries later that Wheatley decided to escape the facility. To accomplish this, he attempted to gather help from any remaining test subject that managed to last centuries after running out of cryogenic supply. Luckily for him, Chell was one of them if not the only one that lasted.

[[File:Wheatley intro rail.jpg|thumb|120px|right|Wheatley's first appearance.]]

Wheatley is first seen during the very beginning of the game by [[Chell]] during the chapter ''The Courtesy Call'', while he is attached to a rail on the ceiling. He later detaches himself from the rail to accompany Chell on a route to the [[Central AI Chamber]], using his compatibility with the Enrichment Center's systems to allow passage through a testing chamber's backstage. {{spoiler|When they reach the ruined Central AI Chamber, he promptly attempts to access an escape hatch under the main breaker room, instead reactivates [[GLaDOS]] by accident. The duo are then grabbed away by one of GLaDOS' pincers on the railings, where GLaDOS crushes him before throwing him away from her chamber.}}

{{spoiler|However, he survives and meets up with Chell later on when the latter is forced into being GLaDOS' lab rat once more. During the course of the game, Wheatley often sneaks behind GLaDOS' testing tracks, analyzing a way to break Chell free from her clutches. Later on in the chapter ''The Surprise'', he successfully rescues Chell before she is put through GLaDOS' death trap at the end of testing. During this time, Wheatley plots that before they could escape, GLaDOS' control over the facility would need to be sabotaged first. The duo starts off with sabotaging GLaDOS' turret production line and later her [[neurotoxin]] generator.}}

[[File:Wheatley extract potatos.jpg|thumb|150px|left|{{spoiler|Wheatley having extracted GLaDOS into a potato battery.}}]]

{{spoiler|Once the sabotages were made, Chell and Wheatley head over to the Central AI Chamber to confront GLaDOS. Fortunately for them, the [[Announcer]] detects GLaDOS as a corrupted [[Cores#Central Core|central core]] and offers a core transference. To GLaDOS' dismay on the process, a stalemate resolution annex deploys itself into the chamber for Chell to press a stalemate resolution button. Once GLaDOS' control over the body was disabled, Wheatley is lowered into a hatch where the core transfer occurs where Wheatley then takes over the central core. When he is about to let Chell leave in an elevator lift, Wheatley grows corrupted with power and immediately becomes the game's antagonist. Wheatley extracts GLaDOS' core programming into a potato battery as an attempt to humiliate her, but as GLaDOS reveals to Chell that he was originally an Intelligence Dampening Sphere made to dumb down GLaDOS' decisions, he grows aggravated and accidentally knocks both her and Chell into the depths of the Enrichment Center.}}

[[File:Wheatleys test chambers.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{spoiler|The Enrichment Center during Wheatley's control.}}]]

{{spoiler|After returning from the 20th century remains of [[Aperture Science]] deep beneath the Enrichment Center, Chell and GLaDOS learn that Wheatley's moronic actions are causing the facility's reactor to approach a nuclear meltdown - which he insists on neglecting the persistent warnings. Wheatley then decides to put Chell and the potato battery-powered GLaDOS into his own testing tracks - some of which were just stolen from GLaDOS with the word "TEST" written on the testing chambers. As he digs into various Enrichment Center projects, he discovers that GLaDOS had built [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] as two robotic cooperative test subjects to prevent "the itch" in the central core body from occurring when she intended to kill Chell. Wheatley makes use of these bots and slowly plots to kill Chell and GLaDOS, later plummeting the duo into a death trap at the beginning of a test chamber. After escaping his traps, GLaDOS suggests causing a new core transfer by implanting [[Cores#Corrupted Cores|corrupt personality cores]] onto Wheatley.}}

{{spoiler|Chell enters the Central AI Chamber to begin the confrontation with Wheatley. 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|Wheatley is last seen in the epilogue after the end credits, with the [[Space Sphere|Space Core]] orbiting him, where he wishes he could say he was sorry for all he did to Chell.}}

== Trivia ==
* Appearance-wise, Wheatley appears to be a variant 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 and possesses a white light as his iris instead.

* Wheatley's {{W|Cockney#Cockney_speech|Cockney accent}} heard in the [[Meet Wheatley (video)]] 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."

[[File:Doug Rattmann.jpg|right|thumb|170px|Doug Rattmann after the events of ''[[Portal]]'', as seen in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat|Lab Rat]]'' comic.]]

{{Quotation|'''Doug Rattmann'''|Reality is a story the mind tells itself. An artificial structure conjured into being by the calcium ion exchange of a million synaptic firings. A truth so strange it can only be lied into existence. And our mind '''can''' lie. Never doubt it...}}

'''Doug Rattmann''', commonly nicknamed as the '''Rat Man''', was a scientist at the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. Prior to the events of ''[[Portal]]'' while [[GLaDOS]] began flooding the entire facility with [[neurotoxin]], Rattmann is the only known employee to have survived. A paranoid {{W|schizophrenic}}, he is dependent on anti-psychotic medication as a means of keeping him sane.

Rattmann does not appear in-game in any form, instead leaving behind paintings and murals which can be found throughout the backstage of various testing chambers in ''Portal'' and the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]''.

[[File:Doug Rattmann sane.jpg|thumb|right|Rattmann as he appears in the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat|Lab Rat]]'' comic, prior to the events of the ''Portal'' series.]]

In the ''[[Portal 2: Lab Rat]]'' comic, he is revealed to be an Aperture Science employee who worked on the [[Handheld Portal Device]].<ref name="portal device work">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P13.jpg|page 13]]</ref> {{spoiler|He expresses doubts about GLaDOS and the effectiveness of a morality core, remarking "You can always ignore your conscience".<ref name="conscience quote">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P14.jpg|page 14]]</ref> His fears turn out to be justified when she poisons all the staff in the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin]] upon activation during the company's Bring-Your-Daughter-To-Work Day.}}

{{spoiler|Prepared for the outcome, he survives the initial attempts to kill him and proceeds to sneak through parts of the facility, avoiding GLaDOS who is actively hunting him. Acting on a 'hunch', he breaks into the test subjects' filing room and arranges [[Chell]]'s name to the top of the test subject roster,<ref name="chell reorder">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P21.jpg|page 21]]</ref> leading to the events in ''Portal''.}}

=== ''Portal'' ===
{{See also|Portal}}

[[File:Portal RatmanBed.png|thumb|left|120px|Crude bed that can be found in most of Rattmann's dens.]]

Delusional, running low on medication and traveling with what he sees to be a talking [[Weighted Companion Cube]], he watches from the shadows as [[Chell]] is put through [[GLaDOS]]' testing course. Although he is never spotted in-game in any of the playable ''Portal'' series, his refuge areas (referred to as dens) can be found by Chell, containing crude bedding, empty cans of beans and scribblings and dioramas on the walls. It is in one of these dens that the warning phrase "The cake is a lie" can be found scribbled on a wall; as GLaDOS continually promises that there would be cake at the end of testing.

{{spoiler|Following Chell's conflict with GLaDOS after her escape from the testing tracks, the ''Lab Rat'' comic details Rattmann's point of view after the events of ''Portal'' in which he follows the sound of the explosion and finds a route to the outside world after the destruction of GLaDOS. His joy is short lived as he witnesses an unconscious Chell being dragged back into the facility by the [[Party Escort Bot]]. Feeling guilt, as it was his actions that resulted in her being the first test subject, he once again enters the facility and finds Chell has been put in long-term cryogenic relaxation.<ref name="chell relaxation">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P15.jpg|page 15]]</ref> Finding out that Chell's [[Relaxation Chambers]] is offline due to the downfall of GLaDOS, the overall facility operator, he proceeds to save Chell's life by unplugging all other available chambers from their cryogenic supply and into hers. He is injured in the process when he is shot by [[Turret]]s that are still left in nearby test chambers.<ref name="ratmann shot">''Portal 2: Lab Rat'' comic, [[:File:Lab Rat P17.jpg|page 17]]</ref> He then submits himself into Chell's cryogenic stasis bed found in the [[Relaxation Vault]] previously used in the events of ''Portal'', and falls asleep in it.}}

{{spoiler|His fate is left unknown as the entire bed with him is nowhere to be found when Chell later revisits this Relaxation Vault at the beginning of the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''.}}

=== ''Portal 2'' ===
{{See also|Portal 2}}

During the events of the single-player campaign of ''Portal 2'', Rattmann's fate is left unknown. Whether or not he is dead is left up to debate, as [[Chell]]'s cryogenic stasis bed that she used before the events of ''[[Portal]]'' he took refuge in, had disappeared entirely.

[[File:Portal_2_Chapter_2_Test_Chamber_6_rat_man_den.png|thumb|right|170px|A Rattmann den during ''[[Portal 2]]'s'' single-player.]]

All that is left of him in ''Portal 2'', like in the first game, are wall scribblings and various dioramas depicting either what he witnessed or simply what he feels like expressing.

Rattmann's graffiti work makes no appearances whatsoever during the course of the game's [[Cooperative Testing Initiative]]. {{spoiler|However, a [[Weighted Companion Cube]] can be spotted by [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]] in the last test of ''[[Cooperative Testing Initiative#Course Four: Excursion Funnels|Course Four: Excursion Funnels]]''. The cube is apparently attached to a Core Receptacle, indicating that it may in fact be as sentient as any other [[Cores]] in the series.}}

{{spoiler|At some point in the events of the [[Portal 2#Perpetual Testing Initiative|Perpetual Testing Initiative]], in which the player takes role of stick figure [[Bendy]] - is shifted into a variety of alternate universes at the Enrichment Center as a means of still having [[Cave Johnson]] as ongoing CEO. There is a universe in which Cave and Rattmann were born with switched bodies. In this universe, Cave (in Doug's voice and body) hijacks the intercoms to yell out and warn everyone that Rattmann (presumably in Cave's body and handling the company typically as the real Cave would) is embezzling from the staffs' paychecks.}}

== Known dens ==
Aside from leaving paintings, murals and messages behind, Doug Rattman also discovered a number hidden rooms in Aperture Science. He adorned these rooms with messages and artwork, and primarily used them as refuges in order to escape GLaDOS' scrutiny. The hidden rooms are present in both Portal and Portal 2, and are known as the '''Ratman's Dens'''. A total of 12 have been discovered, 5 in Portal and 7 in Portal 2.

==Official Personality Test Info==

The [http://www.thinkwithportals.com/coop_survey.php official Aperture Science Collaborative Disposition Test] describes Wheatley as:

“Funny, high-strung, a bit of a motor-mouth-these are the words people would use to describe you when they’re not telling you to shut up. Your ideal cooperative test partners include people who won’t mind you bumbling around breaking things while they do all the work."

I'm not sure what section this information best goes under, so I'll just leave it here for now. - [[User:MewtwoWarrior|MewtwoWarrior]] 02:35, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

== Exact replica = human? ==

"Throughout the Portal 2 chapter The Escape, he reveals that he has a disliking for working with humans; accusing them of "nepotism" simply because the staff gave out the jobs he preferred to other humans."

The exact quote is "I almost got a job down here in Manufacturing. But, uh, guess who the foreman went with? Only an exact duplicate of himself. Nepotism." To me, that doesn't say "humans giving the job to other humans," it says "the programmers jokingly using the word 'nepotism' to mean 'robotic foreman gave the job to a literal exact replica."

I think Wheatley is smart enough to know the difference between humans. [[User:Mortimermcmirestinks|Mortimermcmirestinks]] ([[User talk:Mortimermcmirestinks|talk]]) 11:16, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
