Wheatley/ko

배경

휘틀리는 GLaDOS가 진정할 수 있도록 돕는 코어중 지능 둔화를 위해 만들어진 얼간이 코어입니다. 게임내 언급에 의하면, 그는 그녀가 자신에게 부착하는 것을 거절했고, 역할을 잃었습니다. 포탈2 공식만화에 의하면, GLaDOS가 전 직원을 모두 죽이기 전 포탈1 버전 쯤에, 휘틀리는 직원들을 도와 일했습니다. 의아스럽게도, 그는 많은 오류 코어들과 함께 방치되었습니다.

휘틀리는 첼을 도와 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 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.
