'''GLaDOS''', known in full as the '''Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System''', is the [[Cores#Central Core|central core]] designed to control, guide, and oversee the [[Aperture Science]] computer-aided Enrichment Center. With the ability to shift and move facilities and various chambers, she is able to achieve a seamless and almost infinite testing design. | '''GLaDOS''', known in full as the '''Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System''', is the [[Cores#Central Core|central core]] designed to control, guide, and oversee the [[Aperture Science]] computer-aided Enrichment Center.

She is the antagonist of ''[[Portal]]'' and the first half of the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''. {{spoiler|In the later half, she briefly becomes a {{W|deuteragonist}}.}} In the latter game's cooperative campaign, GLaDOS is the testing supervisor of [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]. | She is the antagonist of ''[[Portal]]'' and the first half of the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2]]''. {{spoiler|In the later half, she briefly becomes a {{W|deuteragonist}}.}} In the latter game's cooperative campaign, GLaDOS is the testing supervisor of [[Atlas]] and [[P-body]]. | ||

She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the [[Handheld Portal Device]], which began the events of ''Portal''. During these time periods, she had constantly intimidated Chell during her performances and given bitter yet innocent sarcastic notions by simply acting out like conveniently placed pre-recorded messages. Several tests later where the [[Turrets]] are finally introduced for testing, Chell would later discover the various graffiti left behind by Rattmann and immediately became aware, but was forced to played along with GLaDOS' plans. | She then awakens Chell for her mandatory testing of the [[Handheld Portal Device]], which began the events of ''Portal''.

After Chell completed the final test chamber, GLaDOS immediately revealed her true colors as she attempts to lower her into a pit of fire. Chell was able to escape her attempt to incinerate her and from there, Chell makes her way throughout the facility to escape. She later had no choice but to confront GLaDOS in her chamber as there was no chance of escaping, a conflict which Chell won. At the conclusion of the conflict, GLaDOS was heavily damaged, and remained in a dormant status for an unspecified amount of time as the facility degraded over the years. | After Chell completed the final test chamber, GLaDOS immediately revealed her true colors as she attempts to lower her into a pit of fire.

Beginning the major events of ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS is reactivated through the accidental efforts of both [[Wheatley]] and [[Chell]] having tried to access an escape lift to the surface in the Central AI Chamber, as both of them were previously trapped in the building following GLaDOS' destruction. {{spoiler|She immediately realizes the presence of Chell and Wheatley standing before her upon awakening. Despite her newly profound hatred for Chell having destroyed her, she uses Wheatley as an object for relieving her anger by crushing him.}} | Beginning the major events of ''Portal 2'', GLaDOS is reactivated through the accidental efforts of both [[Wheatley]] and [[Chell]] having tried to access an escape lift to the surface in the [[Central AI Chamber]], as both of them were previously trapped in the building following GLaDOS' destruction. {{spoiler|She immediately realizes the presence of Chell and Wheatley standing before her upon awakening.

GLaDOS then decides to return Chell to the facility's science experiments to further her cause of science, but often makes various taunts in hopes to crush her morale. | GLaDOS then decides to return Chell to the facility's science experiments to further her cause of science, but often makes various taunts in hopes to crush her morale. | ||

{{spoiler|As she no longer needed Atlas and P-body as her test subjects, she began testing the humans in an attempt to develop them into her cold minions. Her ultimate plan failed as the humans were unable to withstand her extreme testing courses and all of the hundreds of test subjects that were found died within just a week of testing. It became apparent that she absolutely needed Atlas and P-body back as her facility began to malfunction quickly, in addition to her lack of test subjects.}} | {{spoiler|As she no longer needed Atlas and P-body as her test subjects, she began testing the humans in an attempt to develop them into her cold minions.

{{spoiler|When the bots are rebuilt again, she sends them to a new testing course dubbed as Art Therapy, constantly treating the test course as if it were an art museum despite the malfunctioning environment such as her lack of control in putting the test chambers together properly, and a flood arising around a section of the facility during testing. And later, the reassembly machines have finally malfunctioned - causing her to wait three days before the robots could be reassembled to deliver the duo to their next test chamber. After the problems became clear, she confesses that she does need their help and that someone has been tampering with the facility via control of an old prototype chassis of the [[Cores#Central Core|central core]]. To resolve this problem, she trains the bots into becoming her "killing machines" by sending them through even more excessive training during their test course. GLaDOS then finally sends them closer to the location of the chamber housing her chassis, in which she jokingly dubs them as her "Special Team Falling Into Acid Force". When the bots reached the chamber, they discover it was never a person controlling the chassis, but a bird nesting above the keyboard on the machine. As GLaDOS observes it, she panics and yells at them to abort their mission, before P-body closes a hatch that the bird flew out from. As the bots stare at the machine, GLaDOS observes the eggs on the bird's nest and panics that the bird had been "gestating clones" and forces them to destroy the eggs. As the bots were hesitant, she conjures a better idea and houses the birds in the Central AI Chamber, where she could talk with them directly.}} | {{spoiler|When the bots are rebuilt again, she sends them to a new testing course dubbed as Art Therapy, constantly treating the test course as if it were an art museum despite the malfunctioning environment such as her lack of control in putting the test chambers together properly, and a flood arising around a section of the facility during testing.

{{spoiler|After several insults on how the birds were "abandoned" for how worthless she deemed them, she immediately saw potential in them when one of the birds cracked the glass casing housing them with its beak. GLaDOS begins to show compassion toward the birds as she realizes their ability to use hostility and makes use of them as test subjects, as she reveals a more motherly bonding with the birds than she ever did with the bots. The fate of the birds will remain unknown until further test courses are added.}} | {{spoiler|After several insults on how the birds were "abandoned" for how worthless she deemed them, she immediately saw potential in them when one of the birds cracked the glass casing housing them with its beak.
