10 Things You Didn't Know About Sly Cooper

10. Sly Has Always Known Where The Cooper Vault Is

We all know that Sly comes a family of master thieves, known as the Cooper Clan, and we also know that he lost his parents to the Fiendish Five while he was just a young raccoon. Something you might not know however, is that he knew where the map to the Cooper Vault was hidden from the age of three.

While Sly was just three-years old, he went with his father Conner to meet up with his partner in crime Jim McSweeney. McSweeney was told to take the map and hide it in a museum on the coast of Italy.

It was specifically requested that Sly come along so he could later retrieve the map from McSweeney, or the museum itself, allowing him to continue the traidition of storing the treasure he had stolen. While bringing a young child to your heist is a bit extreme, it shows how important this moment was both for Conner and for Sly.

Sly later has to enter this vault in the third game, and with the knowledge from his childhood he is able to track down the map. Without this knowledge in his head, finding the Cooper Vault would have been virtually impossible, ruining the entire plot of the third game.
