Sly Cooper is the main protagonist of the Sly Cooper series. He is born from a long line of famous thieves, and is the leader of the Cooper Gang, also consisting of Bentley and Murray. He appears in Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS & Wii U as a playable character.
Character Description[]
Sly was born from a long line of thieves in the Cooper family, who mainly stole from undeserving criminals because they believed there was no honor, no fairness, and no fun in stealing from common people. When he was young, Sly's father was killed by a group of criminals who wanted a book called the Thievius Raccoonus, the Cooper family's greatest treasure. He was placed in an orphanage where he met Bentley and Murray, and together they pulled off they're first heist to steal a cookie jar. The heist was successful, and the three friends became the current Cooper Gang.
