Strategy

Johnson is an eccentric billionaire. While his mad science schemes are fascinating and should be complimented, they are also ethically controversial and you should not agree to participate in them as a test subject ever, no matter how much money, scientific experience, etc. you are offered.

Etymology

Johnson's given name, Cave, is taken from the name of his great-great-grandfather Cave Johnson I and has possible origins in the English word cave, the Norman French word cauf ("bald"), a Yorkshire river, and the occupation of a wine cellar worker.

The surname Johnson means "son of John"; John is an English form of the Hebrew name Yochanan ("Yahweh (God) is gracious").

  3. 3.0 3.1 Johnson founded Aperture Fixtures no later than 1943 CE. If we assume that he was at least eighteen years old in 1943 CE, he must have been born no later than 1925 CE. Interestingly, as shown in Portal 2, in Timeline Pee Tee eye Hyphen Thirteen, Johnson claimed to be fifty-one years old in 1988 CE, which would imply a birth year of circa 1937 CE.
