Salim Al-Kupar

Salim Al-Kupar is one of the supporting characters in the Sly Cooper series. He was Sly Cooper's ancestor from Arabia. He was often said to hold the stealth of 40 thieves, a reference to Ali Baba.
While once a dashing thief in his younger years, age and the loss of his gang has turned Salim into a lazy, unmotivated individual. However, when Sly Cooper's gang arrives in his time, he begrudgingly returns to thievery to save his friends and even by the end of their time together feels sad to see the gang go. After this one final heist, Salim settled down to run a camel-based snack selling business; one which allowed him to nap for large portions of the day.
He was voiced by Brian George.
==Biography==
===Sly 3===
A portrait of Salim can be seen inside the Cooper family vault but it depicts him much more muscular than his appearance in the game's sequel. It is unknown if this is what he looked like in his younger years or his portrait was just made that way.
===Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time===
In Thieves in Time, Sly says Salim was a member of the infamous 40 Thieves. However, when Sly arrives, he discovers that Salim and his fellow thieves have gotten old, and many have retired from thieving. Salim and three other thieves planned one last job, their target being Ms. Decibel. However, since she is from the future, Salim and his gang were easily discovered by her security. Salim escaped, but the others were captured. He goes into hiding. When Sly finds him, he is snacking on a boat. The gang helps him to retrieve the thieves, who are being hypnotized into writing fake papers that would create a false ancestry for Le Paradox. Later, when Salim sees Le Paradox, he attempts to stop him, but is defeated and has his cane taken. He later appears in the future with the other ancestors to retrieve their canes. His is retrieved by Bob Cooper and he helps to retrieve Sir Galleth's cane before going back to his own time. He spends the rest of his days selling food on the streets to hungry customers. Bentley notes it became highly successful.
==Abilities==
Salim has the ability to summon a magic carpet that functions similarly to Sly's paraglider and has a special thieving technique called the "Cobra Climb," which allows him to climb up poles and shimmy along walls at great speeds.
==Personality==
Salim is quite lazy. He constantly complains and wishes that he wasn't the one performing complex climbs. Salim seems to care deeply for the members of his gang, as Salim was in hiding thinking of a plan to free them (despite his laziness). He constantly references his glory days, as seen in "Rug Rats" when he starts babbling to Bentley about a flying carpet scam that him and the owner of the carpet store pulled off, only stopping when Bentley scolds him for it.
