  I was kinda disappointed when Henrietta One-eye Cooper didn't show up in Sly Cooper 4. It would've have been interesting to see Sly interact with an actual pirate and not to mention the only female ancestor who mentioned. Also in Salim's level there's a massive stockpile of treasure that belongs to Henrietta.

  I think the reason the vault has such little shrines is because the cooper clan would store their loot in their hiding places and pass on their cane to their children until there was no longer any space and the current would then visit the vault to store the loot and set the cane there, making a new cane for theit child

  My theory is that the Cooper clan was kinda big, that would explain how some of the ancestor's timelines were pretty close to each other (Henriette & Rioichi, Thaddeus & Tennessee) but the stories behind them were very different, explaining how Henriette for an example was a pirate while Rioichi was a ninja, Clockwerk probably killed a couple of Coopers like Thaddeus and Henriette, making Tennessee Kids and Rioichi Cooper's story and timeline more relevant.

  Definitely my favorite part is Henriette's meeting with Clockwerk. It made me shiver, that bird is definitely something. If we see another game someday I'd love to see Henriette. Would be cool to have a playable female ancestor.

  It explains why Jean can see through the gang's disguises (Thaddeus)

  I'm thinking about writing an anthology series of the Cooper Clan. Each tale about the characters' exploits in their time.

  I have been studying and theorizing, and there are some things I need to tell you about the ancestors.<br><br><br>1. They did not say what pages Clockwerk stole in the first game, but after looking at the wiki, I figured out that he stole Salim&apos;s al-Kupar&apos;s pages. Also, given that Salim&apos;s signature move is an enhancement to climbing on miscellaneous objects like pipes and ladders, his section of the Thievius Raccoonus likely detailed climbing all that stuff.<br>2. Sir Galleth Cooper&apos;s section of the Thievius Raccoonus most likely detailed wall hooks, given that his signature move is also an enhancement. The most probable reason why he was not referenced in the first game was because the game likely ended before they found Sir Galleth&apos;s section.<br>3. Slaigh MacCooper&apos;s cane is not entirely made of stone. The crook is made of stone, but the handle is a caber, or a Scottish throwing log, and cabers are made from wood.<br>4. Rioichi Cooper&apos;s canes in Sly 4 are made of bamboo, not wood. Also, he did not call Salim &quot;Sir Salim&quot; at the end; that was actually Sir Galleth.<br>5. Rioichi Cooper just might not be Henriette &quot;One Eyed&quot; Cooper&apos;s father, as it can be assumed that Rioichi actually never traveled to the Caribbean, where Henriette was born. It is the same thing with Thaddeus Winslow Cooper III and &quot;Tennessee Kid&quot; Cooper; Thaddeus most likely never traveled to the United States, which is where Tennessee was born. Neither Rioichi nor Thaddeus would have any reason to travel to either location, so it can&apos;t simply be that case.<br>6. For the exact time when Thaddeus Winslow Cooper III was born, I would assume he is from the 1820s and lived to be the oldest living Cooper ever, given that his section of the Thievius Raccoonus mentions the years 1839 and 1893, so he would be at least 72 years old when he retired. Also, he rally couldn&apos;t be friends with Jean Bison, since the latter most likely never traveled outside of Canada, also supporting the thing I mentioned about the former. Thaddeus would have just about no reason at all to travel from the British Isles to any place at all in North America, so he could not have actually interacted with Tennessee or Jean Bison.<br>7. It would be better to refer to Otto van Cooper as just Otto for shorthand; the &quot;van&quot; is part of his last name. Also, he had to have a cane, as the propellers on his plane would be way too hard to touch to the slot on the Cooper Vault&apos;s door due to the unwieldy status of his plane. Also, another ancestor would not even think about storing a fortune that belonged to Otto rather than them. Since Tennessee was born before Otto, the latter belongs after the former.<br>8. There is an image available for Conner Cooper, so it makes no sense why you did not provide one. It is the exact one you used for Sly Cooper, who by the way is the last of the Coopers, so he is not an ancestor and therefore shouldn&apos;t belong here. You also forgot to mention that the laser slide is not in the Thievius Raccoonus.<br>9. You spelled and pronounced &quot;Karin Coopergiwa&quot; as &quot;Karin Cooperwiga&quot;.<br>10. The minor ancestors all had their pages obtained in a specific order and, if skipped, could be collected in an episode where it would not be collected if they were all collected. Therefore, they are not spaced in a specific location or job.

  I think that there were splits in family and that everyone is not directly related more like half-related.Some are directly, others are half.<br><br>I find it weird that the Cooper&apos;s moved around the globe so quickly and changed their whole culture.

  In the first game Sly says that his cane has been in the family for generations. The cane Auto used to get into the vault may be the same one Sly still uses today.
