=== Chell ===
== Personality Constructs ==
{{main|Chell}}
{| width="100%" align="center"
Chell is the main protagonist and the character you control during the single player portions of both ''Portal'' and ''Portal 2''. She is notoriously tenacious, and is renowned for possessing a "never give up" or "never say die" attitude as highlighted in the [[Portal 2: Lab Rat|''Portal: Lab Rat'']] comic. Throughout both games she doesn't speak, but interacts silently with the world around her.

=== GLaDOS ===
=== Cooperative Testing Initiative ===
{{main|GLaDOS}}
{| width="100%" align="center"
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 oversee, 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 is an ex-Aperture Science employee who has gone somewhat insane by lack of medication.

The Weighted Companion Cube is a variant of the [[Weighted Storage Cube]].

{{main|Wheatley}}
{| width="100%" align="center"
Wheatley is a sentient personality core that has helped to maintain [[Aperture Science]]. {{Spoiler|Wheatley is described by GLaDOS as a core designed to make poor decisions, and was created in order to make GLaDOS less intelligent and thereby more controllable.}} He begins ''Portal 2'' as your companion and guide through the early parts of the game, and attempts to help the player escape from GLaDOS. {{Spoiler|Later, after replacing GLaDOS as the entity primarily in control of Aperture Science, he is corrupted by its power and assumes a more malevolent personality.}}

At some point in his career as a successful shower curtain salesman, and after winning the Idaho award for potato science, Cave Johnson decided to embark upon a venture into science. He then bought a large salt mine to base all of his scientific testing. As a result, he founded and developed [[Aperture Science|Aperture Science Innovations]], a testing ground for inventions of a scientific nature. Now presumed deceased, recordings of his voice remain in order to guide test subjects through the many test chambers that can be found throughout Aperture Science.
