The Personality Cores of The Aperture Science Facility were created to help the scientists run the facility and deal with an issue they had with the GLaDOS project. After many apocalyptic events, the cores saw this opportunity as a way to run Aperture their way.

Why were they constructed? Were they originally human? and how did they help keep Aperture functioning when humanity no longer could? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the Personality Cores in Portal.
