Sir Galleth Cooper

Sir Galleth Cooper is one of the supporting characters in the Sly Cooper series. He was Sly's ancestor from Medieval England. He was an honorable knight and cunning thief who fought with a lance in the shape of the Cooper Cane. Likewise he had a bombastic, arrogant streak as well as was a cunning thief who fought with a lance in the shape of the Cooper crook. When a mysterious figure known as the Black Tyrant came to town, Galleth was imprisoned in a "Mad Circus" and forced to play the humiliating role of a jester. Thieves in Time makes him a playable character, after Sly rescues him.
He was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal.
==Story==
Sir Galleth Cooper is one of Sly's ancestors from Thieves in Time. Sir Galleth is described as an "Honorable Knight and Cunning Thief" (description provided by the Cooper Vault in Sly 3). Sir Galleth is one of Sly's more prominent ancestors, a brave and honorable knight of Medieval England, and like the rest of his family, a master thief. Not much is known about Sir Galleth Cooper except that he is a knight as for Thieves in Time.
In Thieves in Time, before Sly arrives, Sir Galleth attempted to take on the Black Knight (the main antagonist of that period) singlehandedly when he was ravaging the land with his mechanical monsters, but was defeated and captured. He was then forced to perform deadly circus acts, until Sly rescued him. He later tries to take on the Moat Monster, but ends up swallowed whole. He is saved by Carmelita, who promises not to tell anyone what happened so he can keep his pride (since a knight was rescued by a "fair damsel"). Once the gang charges into the Black Knight's fortress, Sir Galleth once again tries to take him on, but instead has his cane taken. He later appears in the present day with the other ancestors to retrieve their canes. His is retrieved by Salim Al Kupar and he helps to retrieve Tennessee Kid Cooper's cane before returning to his own time. He founds the Knights of the Cooper Order and becomes a successful actor.
==Abilities==
During gameplay, it has been shown that, like the other Coopers, Sir Galleth has a special thieving technique, his technique is called the "Catapult Crash". His technique is used while hanging from a hook with his cane, when he does this, he leaps up and smashes through objects using an electrified sword. His cane appears to resemble a jousting lance, and during the "Mechanical Menace" mission, he is shown sliding down a zipline using his cane. Galleth also has a forward charge-type attack where he runs in the direction that the left analog stick is moved, creating an energy shield and bashing any unfortunate enemy in his way. He also has an ability where he energizes his cane with mystical energy and then does a slam attack.
==Personality==
As a knight, Sir Galleth had a bombastic and over-dramatic personality, proving to Sly and the gang that he is not as skilled as the Thievius Raccoonus detailed him to be. Additionally, he is quite proud as shown when, after being saved from the mechanical “Moat Monster” by Carmelita, he made her promise to keep it a secret between them as being "rescue[d] by a fair damsel wounds [him] deepest."
