GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) is an artificial intelligence created by Aperture Science and the main antagonist of the Portal series. She is responsible for the testing and maintenance of the Aperture Science research facility and its Test Subjects.
In Portal, GLaDOS initially appears as a voice guide, designed to aid the Chell through the test chambers, but it quickly becomes apparent, through her words and actions, that her intentions are malicious in nature. As the story unfolds, it is learned that GLaDOS used a neurotoxin to kill all the scientists in the lab before the events of Portal.
