'''GLaDOS'''  ('''G'''enetic '''L'''ifeform '''a'''nd '''D'''isk '''O'''perating '''S'''ystem) is the [[Cores#Central Core|central core/zh-hans]] designed to control, guide, and oversee the [[Aperture Science/zh-hans]] computer-aided Enrichment Center. With the ability to shift and move facilities and various chambers, GLaDOS is able to achieve a seamless and almost infinite testing design whilst residing in the [[Central AI Chamber]].

In possession of a feminine programming, {{Spoiler|she is the antagonist of ''[[Portal/zh-hans]]''}} and {{spoiler|the first half of the single-player campaign in ''[[Portal 2/zh-hans]]''.}} {{spoiler|During the later half, she becomes the game's {{W|tritagonist}}.}} In the game's cooperative campaign, GLaDOS is the testing supervisor of [[Atlas/zh-hans]] and [[P-body/zh-hans]].

== Background ==

{{spoiler|GLaDOS was a creation of [[Aperture Science/zh-hans]], a [[Cores|personality core/zh-hans]] designed exactly to be fitted as a central computer mainframe. The project began under the oversight of [[Cave Johnson/zh-hans]] over the company and was an attempt to create a fully functional, advanced artificial intelligence which was originally intended to be occupied by Johnson as one of his attempts to cheat death. After it became apparent to Johnson that he may die of moon rock poisoning before development on GLaDOS would be completed, Johnson motioned for the scientists to insert [[Caroline/zh-hans]] instead.}}

After a decade's worth of hard work, GLaDOS was officially activated as part of one of the many events during the company's "Bring Your Daughter to Work" day. Since she was able to take control of half of the facility's features, GLaDOS began killing most of its inhabitants by flooding the Enrichment Center with [[neurotoxin/zh-hans]]. However, only a few if not only one of the staff such as [[Doug Rattmann/zh-hans]] had survived her attacks along with the series' main protagonist, [[Chell/zh-hans]]. The destruction of the company also coincided with an invasion of Earth, which had occurred two days after at Aperture's rival company, [[Black Mesa/zh-hans]]. This ultimately led to the negligence of the outside world from realizing Aperture's fate, as all attention had been diverted to Black Mesa and the aforementioned invasion.

Since the attack, she has managed the company to her limits. {{spoiler|Her first test subject and the series' main protagonist, [[Chell/zh-hans]], was given a warning of GLaDOS' true colors with the help of Rattmann. She confronts GLaDOS in her chamber at the end of ''[[Portal/zh-hans]]'', which allowed GLaDOS to develop an even deeper hatred for her after she was awakened at the beginning of ''[[Portal 2/zh-hans]]''.}}
