The ''Portal'' storyline is home to a number of richly detailed characters.

== Characters ==
Characters are listed in order of appearance.

=== Chell ===
{{main|Chell}}
Chell is the protagonist and the character in which you control in both Portal and Portal 2 during the single player portions. She is notoriously tenacious, renowned for a "never give up", "never say die" attitude as highlighted in the Portal: Lab Rat comic. Throughout both games, she doesn't speak, and interacts silently with the world around her.

=== GLaDOS ===
{{main|GLaDOS}}
GLaDOS (or Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) is the primary antagonist throughout both Portal and Portal 2. She is a sentient computer that was built to help control, and later fully control all aspects of the [[Aperture Science]] Enrichment Center. Witty and sarcastic, her tone and mode of speech is generally surprisingly human, but with the cold calculating precision only a computer can afford.

=== Doug Rattmann ===
{{main|Doug Rattmann}}
Doug Rattmann is an ex-Aperture Science employee.

=== Weighted Companion Cube ===
{{main|Weighted Companion Cube}}
The Weighted Companion Cube is a variant of the [[Weighted Storage Cube]]. It is presented to the player in a late test chamber in Portal, and serves as both protector and assistant throughout the level. In the sequel, the Companion Cube has been upgraded, like much of [[Aperture Science]] equipment has, it's most notable of which is a soft music playing when held.

=== Wheatley ===
{{main|Wheatley}}
Wheatley is a sentient personality core that has helped to maintain [[Aperture Science]]. {{Spoiler|Described by GLaDOS as a core designed to make poor decisions, in order to make GLaDOS less intelligent, thereby more controllable.}} He begins Portal 2 as your companion and guide through the early parts of the game, attempting to help the player escape from GLaDOS. {{Spoiler|Later, after replacing GLaDOS as the entity primarily in control of Aperture Science, corrupted by it's power, takes on a more malevolent personality.}}

=== Cave Johnson ===
{{main|Cave Johnson}}
Cave Johnson, who began is career as a successful shower curtain salesman, decides to begin a venture into science, founds and develops [[Aperture Science|Aperture Science Innovations]], a testing ground for inventions of a scientific nature. Now presumed deceased, recordings of his voice guiding test subjects through chambers can be found throughout Aperture Science.

=== Caroline ===
{{main|Caroline}}
Caroline was [[Cave Johnson]]'s assistant. {{Spoiler text|At the time of Cave's death, her consciousness was transferred into the core system to become GLaDOS.}}

=== Atlas ===
{{main|Atlas}}
Atlas is a sentient robot designed by GLaDOS from the remains of a knowledge core for the purposes of [[co-op|cooperative testing]] with his partner [[P-Body]]. His eye, and markings on his body are blue, while he fires blue and purple Portals from his [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]]. Though incapable of human speech, he is presented as a somewhat nervous masculine robot.

=== P-body ===
{{main|P-body}}
P-Body is a sentient robot designed by [[GLaDOS]] from the remains of a turret for the purposes of [[co-op|cooperative testing]] with her partner [[Atlas]]. "Her" eye, and markings on her body are orange, while she fires orange and red Portals from her [[Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]].Though incapable of human speech, P-Body is presented as inquisitive and confident, though slightly feminine robot.
