Slytunkhamen Cooper I[note 1] was an Egyptian ancestor of Sly Cooper who lived in Egypt approximately 3300 years before him. in circa 1350 B.C
Slytunkhamen was originally believed to have been one of the, if not the, first of the Coopers. However, with the introduction of Bob Cooper in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, this information is now proven to be incorrect.
History[]
A young Slytunkhamen spent most of his early thieving career hiding inside a vase, waiting for victims to walk so he could steal their loot.[1]
Slytunkhamen was the creator of the Thievius Raccoonus and the one who started the Cooper thief legacy between 1350 - 1320 BC.[2] as apparently none of his own ancestors before him had written down any of their exploits. In 1320, he had a son named Slytunkhamen II, who went on to build the Cooper Vault.[3] Slytunkhamen I was also the Inventor of Invisibility, Also known as the shadow power technique which made one invisible. However, it did not allow one's movement until an extension of the technique was developed by Huckleberry Cooper, allowing for movement. According to the Sly cooper and the the Thievius Raccoonus, Slytunkhamen used this technique to steal from corrupt pharaohs and greedy noblemen.[2] Slytunkhamen used his invisibility trick to sneak through even the most heavily guarded and booby-trapped pyramids of Ancient Egypt.
Centuries later, Slytunkhamen's section of the Thievius Raccoonus was stolen by the Fiendish Five's chief mystic, Mz. Ruby, who was attracted to Slytunkhamen's paranormal abilities.[2]
It is possible that he passed away before Slytunkhamen II created the Cooper Vault in 1300 B.C, which would explain why he has no known section there.

- ↑ His name is a reference to the boy pharaoh, Tutankhamun, (sometimes spelled "Tutankhamen"). If Slytunkhamen were a direct change, it would be spelled either "Slytankhamun" or "Slytankhamen."
