In the last panel of the comic, Doug Rattmann places himself in cryogenic storage animation. 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. 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.
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. Already skeptical 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. Prior to GLaDOS' rampancy and the neurotoxin release, Doug Rattmann was once an Aperture scientist.
