Salim has purple fur, which is different out of most of the other Cooper ancestors.As such, before his trust is earned, in the hideout he is seen with his back turned to the gang and snacking on something.


Salim is much grumpier and less cheerful than the other Coopers, and, despite believing Sly's claim to be related to him, did not give Sly an enthusiastic welcome when he met him. 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.
#Cooper thief free
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 complains and wishes that he wasn't the one performing complex climbs. Salim is quite lazy (though this may be due in part because of his age and desire to retire). He had two rings on each ear and wore a white, long sleeves shirt, a yellow/golden sleeveless jacket, patched green baggy pants and pointy red shoes. Salim was a purple colored raccoon who wore a white turban which was decorated with a red and white feather and a blue diamond. In Thieves in Time, his weapon has changed from a large scimitar-like cane to one that more closely resembles the classic cane.Ĭharacteristics Physical appearance It also had obstacles which tested the intruder on their cane skills. Salim's section of the Cooper Vault showcased his scimitar-like cane, his treasures and an Arabian oil lamp, once presumed to hold a mystic genie. It wouldn't be long before Salim passed away, whether by natural causes, or by Clockwerk. Parking his camel around town, he sold snacks to hungry customers, and it was highly successful. Then he dreamed up a lucrative new business. He later appears in the last level to retrieve Sir Galleth's cane, then disappears back to his time.Īt the end of the game, Salim finally retired from thieving and took a long nap. The magic carpet gave Salim the ability to glide his way across gaps and evade his enemies with ease in Arabian style. While Sly had the paraglider, Salim got his own exclusive flying transport. Salim had his own personal flying carpet. This came in very handy as he made his way through this snake-infested rug shop. This technique allowed him to rapidly ascend vertical ropes, chains or poles to quickly evade an attack. To do so, he used his signature ability - the Climbing Cobra. Salim was on a quest to free one of the members of his band of thieves from a strange imprisonment. Sly quickly discovered that Salim was nearing retirement and looking forward to taking a little break from thievery, but recent events had put an end to those plans. Sly met Salim as he traveled back in time to the enchanted world of ancient Arabia – a land of magic genies, flying carpets and lost treasures.
