The very last core anyone would choose to run Aperture.

to:

The very last core anyone would choose to run Aperture. Several of the marked spoilers are actually for VideoGame/Portal2, which is not spoiled in this game but his backstory plays a large role in his character here.


Added DiffLines:

* [[spoiler:AdaptationalHeroism: In VideoGame/Portal2, he gains control of the facility and nearly destroys it attempting to kill you. In this game, he controls the mainframe remotely for fear that this will happen again and attempts to help his test subjects reunite and escape Aperture with no ulterior motive. This is somewhat justified, as his villainy in VideoGame/Portal2 may have been entirely thanks to whatever code was in the mainframe. It's clear that the devs decided to run with the theory that Wheatley himself was never all that bad to begin with, he just got corrupted.]]
* BriarPatching: After accidentally giving away the directory in which [[spoiler:JackOS]] can do real damage, Wheatley lamely attempts to stop him from accessing it by claiming that it only contains 300 recordings of very annoying bird calls. [[spoiler:Needless to say, this doesn't work and JackOS manages to bring turrets and explosive lemonade gel into his fight.]]
* ButtMonkey: Poor Wheatley. He only wants to help but everything he does seems to make things worse, and on top of that, [[spoiler:he's then forced out of power by JackOS and taunted by him to boot. He's not having a very good day, is he?]]
* {{CloudCuckooLander}}: He often rambles more to himself than to Jack or Séan, particularly about his plans for the Not-A-Moron Club and the lethality of the turrets. Which doesn't help ''while they're trying to get past the turrets.''
