Slytunkhamen Cooper II was a raccoon thief in Ancient Egypt, and a direct ancestor to Sly Cooper, born around 3000 years before.
History
Sly's ancestor from ancient Egypt (C. 1300 BCE), and creator of the Cooper Vault, Slytunkhamen had two small canes that bore a striking resemblance to the Egyptian Khopesh (a sickle sword), and probably used his father's ability to turn invisible to steal from corrupt pharaohs and greedy noblemen. He was also skilled at putting up traps that were utilized in ancient Egyptian tombs.
At some point, he had a son, calling him Slytunkhamen III Cooper.
There is a sarcophagus in the Cooper Vault that may or may not contain his body.
Commenting on his section of the cooper vault sly said:
"This place was started by Slytunkhamen II, He built his fortune in the employ of the great pharaohs. That must have been around 1300 B.C."
