Doug Rattmann
Doug Rattmann, often referred to as the "Ratman" is a fictional character from the Portal series of first person shooter/puzzle video games developed by Valve Corporation. He was featured in both Portal and Portal 2.
Doug Ratmann was a former scientist working at Aperture and one of the few who survived when GLaDOS flooded the facility with neurotoxin. In the two games there are various "Ratman dens", where Doug Rattmann has left scribblings and paintings on walls in hidden rooms. Ratman’s full appearance is only seen in the Portal 2: Lab Rat webcomic released by Valve Software prior to Portal 2 's release to tie the story of the two games together. Ratman is the comic’s main character. Prior to GLaDOS' rampancy and the neurotoxin release, Doug Rattmann was once an Aperture scientist. Already sceptical of the computer, the man fled from the gas and kept himself hidden from GLaDOS' view, slowly becoming more insane over an unknown stretch of time.
The Lab Rat comic reveals that, despite his madness, Doug Rattmann identified Chell as a rejected test subject due to her high tenacity, and moved her to the top of the queue for testing. During events in Portal, he worked behind the scenes to scribble messages and warnings to Chell on the walls, leading her out of the testing chambers and towards GLaDOS. After watching her defeat the computer, he managed to escape the facility, but returned to assure Chell would be put in indefinite cryogenic storage animation after she was dragged back inside, suffering a serious injury (a shot in the leg from a turret) to complete this. In the last panel of the comic, Doug Rattmann places himself in cryogenic storage animation. Throughout Portal 2, it is hinted through more scribblings (which look more recent) that he has awakened from cryogenic sleep and is wandering around the complex again. Also, the player can hear Rattmann ranting on the other side of the wall in the last den of Portal 2. This rant may seem like utter rubbish, but certain phrases can be heard, such as "Look at me Chell". One phrase that has been of interest for fans is "Help me Uncle Johnson", which implies that Cave Johnson could possibly be Doug Rattmann's uncle. But these are just speculation, since there is no canon transcription for Doug Rattmann's rant.
