==History==
Sly was born into the lineage of the Coopers under the tutelage of his father Conner Cooper. Between the jobs that his father's gang would pull off, Sly would spend time with Jim McSweeney, a member of the gang and Conner's friend. At the age of three, Sly was taken by his father to a museum on the Ligurian coast in Italy where they met up with McSweeney, who then took the map to the Cooper Vault—an island-wide safe that holds the riches of the entire Cooper Clan—and hid it in the museum.
As Sly grew up, he learned about his family's history as master thieves. At the age of eight, he was to follow in their footsteps and inherit their legacy, a book called the Thievius Raccoonus. On the night Sly was to inherit the book, a mysterious gang of criminals known as the Fiendish Five infiltrated the Cooper home. Try as he might, Conner failed to defend himself, his wife and his son from the gang, resulting in the roboticization of both parents. The Fiendish Five ransacked the house in search of the Thievius Raccoonus as Sly watched helplessly from the closet. Once the villains found the book, they tore it into five parts before leaving.
Sly, now technically an orphan thanks to Robotnik, was placed in a rather comfortable orphanage/mansion (the Mobian equivalent to Chesworth House), where he met his now lifelong friends Bentley and Murray. With their encouragement, Sly was determined to live up to his namesake as an accomplished thief.
Mrs. Puffin, their guardian, was often at Court and gave little supervision to the upbringing of her wards, rather than being cruel and mean. She also has a cookie jar that she kept. After much plotting, Bentley had come up with the perfect plan: Sly would hide in Puffin's trash bin until after she had left for the night and would swipe the cookies then. According to his calculations, Bentley decided they had only five minutes between Puffin's departure and the janitor's arrival. Unfortunately, Sly had misinterpreted Bentley's instructions and was nearly caught by the janitor. Due to Murray's quick thinking, Sly was yanked through the window at the last second before the janitor entered the office. However, the mission was not a failure, as Sly had stashed the cookies in his hat at the last moment. After their first successful heist, the Cooper Gang was born.
===Meeting Carmelita===
Many years later, Sly arrived in back in Mobotropolis "looking for a little adventure". While comparing stories with former Robotnik Empire enforcer Carmelita Fox sometime later, the accounts differ, so the exact details are impossible to know. Sly claimed he was just there to "soak in the architecture" while Carmelita stated that he was there to "case the joint." In the end, Sly helped catch a rival thief, the stage manager Pierre, which benefited Carmelita and started the two's relationship.
Sometime later, Sly stole an item known as the Fire Stone of India, which put Carmelita after him again. He planned to give it to Carmelita as a token of his feelings for her.
===Confronting the Fiendish Five===
Ten years after the Fiendish Five stole the Thievius Raccoonus, Sly had garnered a worldwide reputation throughout Mobius as a cunning thief. He and the gang embarked on a quest to steal back his inheritance and avenge his parents' roboticizations. Starting in Mobotropolis, Sly stole a police file from Inspector Fox's office, which engaged her interests, though she was unsuccessful in apprehending Sly at the scene. The file contained all of Carmelita's data on Sly and his background, as well as the Fiendish Five. Ready to finally become a master thief like his ancestors, Sly and the gang began a pursuit that would ultimately change their lives.
As the gang and Carmelita traveled around Mobius, they confronted each Fiendish Five member in their respective hideouts, defeating them one by one and collecting the pieces of the Thievius Raccoonus that they had taken. He used them to learn the techniques of his family.
After the defeat of the Panda King, the gang headed to the Krakarovnik Volcano. Bentley had analyzed several unique vehicles that the other members of the Fiendish Five had at their bases of operation, the alloy of which could have only come from this volcano. On the journey, Sly examined the pages of the Thievius Raccoonus. Several of its pictures depicted a shadowy owl-like figure in the background. He compared these images to the little information that Carmelita's police file contained on the leader of the Fiendish Five, Clockwerk. He found that they matched his silhouette, leaving him to wonder if this was a simple coincidence or something more.
Arriving in the mountains, the gang was attacked almost immediately by a powerful death ray. With the latest modifications of the Cooper Van, Sly was able to fight off the robo-falcons (the Robotnik roboticized) that swarmed around them while they dodged the death ray. Inside the base, Sly found that Carmelita had been captured and placed in a chamber—she was secretly following them the whole time, but was captured. Despite Bentley's warnings that this was a possible trap set up by Clockwerk, Sly will not willing to stand by and let Carmelita face immortal doom.
After sneaking across the heavily secured room, he arrived at the chamber, but the door closed behind him as soon as he stepped inside. Upon seeing Sly, Carmelita began to think that he was the culprit behind her capture, but Sly assured her that it was in fact a rescue. Shortly after, Sly lost consciousness from the toxic fumes that filled the room, while Clockwerk appeared on the computer screens and chided Sly's sentimentality. Bentley sprang into action and hacked Clockwerk's security, turning off the gas just before Sly's brain could be "turned to cheese." He then woke up with every memory intact.
Once Sly regained consciousness, Carmelita apologized to him for her accusations and promised to make it up to him if he could free her. After escaping Clockwerk's clutches, the two briefly reasoned with each other how, at the moment, they were both on the same side and Clockwerk was the enemy, to which Carmelita agreed. Therefore, she called a temporary truce with Sly in order to work together to bring down Clockwerk. However, she reminded Sly that when this was all over, she would go after him as well, after a ten-second head start. Carmelita offered Sly the use of her jetpack, which he had to acquire at the top of the death ray. Upon reaching the top of the tower, which had subsequently sunken into the lava, he equipped the jetpack shortly before Clockwerk revealed himself. The owl explained how he kept himself alive through a steady diet of jealousy and hate for the Cooper line, awaiting the day he would finally eclipse their thieving reputation.
Those words confirmed Sly's suspicions as to the identity of the figure in the pictures within the Thievius Raccoonus. Before engaging in battle with the owl, Sly inquired about his reasoning for sparing his life when he attacked his home. Clockwerk simply stated that he wanted to show the world that without the Thievius Raccoonus, the Cooper line was nothing, something that Sly disagreed with, stating that the Thievius Raccoonus was a book created by master thieves and not a book that "creates" master thieves. The two then engaged in battle, and with Carmelita's help, Sly was able to shoot down the owl. After Clockwerk dropped down into the lava and began his auto-reconstruct sequence, Sly seized control of the jetpack and made his way to the Clockwerk's head, by foot, to destroy it. As Sly made continuous blows at Clockwerk's head, the owl said his final words: "Cooper! You will never be rid of me! Clockwerk is superior!"
With the entire Fiendish Five defeated, Sly expressed his pride in managing to recover his family heirloom. He acknowledged the help he had from Bentley and Murray, who stuck with him through it all, even though it was not easy for them. Commenting on both of their abilities, he realized how lucky he was to have friends like them, and could never ask for better ones.
His parents were later located and deroboticized with Titus' deroboticizer.
==Physical appearance==
Sly is a racoon gray fur with black stripes on his tail and a natural mask, as well as brown eyes. His nose has a blue tinge to it. His ensemble consists of a black mask, blue elbow-sleeved shirt with a yellow collar, blue boots, blue gloves with yellow cuffs, and a blue cap. While this article shows him with his appearance from the Sly Cooper video game series, in the Sonic Underground reboot he is redesigned to be more in line with the typical designs of Sonic characters.
==Personality==
Sly is a cunning, devious, quick-witted, charming, suave gentleman thief. He uses his wit, courage, charm and skills to pull off jobs, and often crack jokes and sarcastic comments at the expense of others. Sly is also very cool, collected and manages to keep a rational head in stressful and chaotic situations. Through all of his hardships, he remains loyal and dedicated to any he calls his friend, particularly Bentley and Murray, and Carmelita Fox, despite her attempts to put him behind bars.
In the beginning, Sly was very cocky and driven by his own personal goals. On occasion, he would scold Bentley for slowing missions. He often disregarded Bentley's advice and warnings, and sometimes spoke rudely of Murray. In the end, Sly openly admitted that he wouldn't have made it that far without them both.
==Powers and abilities==
Years of training and natural ability passed down through the Cooper bloodline have given Sly vast agility, balance, and reflexes, allowing him to perform feats that few can equal. In addition, he has learned every ability detailed in the Thievius Raccoonus, including balancing on the tops of sharp points, rope and pole climbing, invisibility, swinging on hooks, and running on wires. His skills include parkour, gymnastics, pickpocketing, safecracking, mastery of disguise, time manipulation and others.
===Weapons===
Sly's primary weapon in the series is his family's cane, which is a brown staff ending in a golden hook. Many of his ancestors also had weapons incorporating the trademark hook, and the cane has become an infamous symbol of the Cooper Gang. Sly is also very capable with his cane and is a powerful opponent in a fight, repeatedly being shown beating opponents much larger and better equipped than himself.
