Murray (Sly Cooper)

Murray is a secondary protagonist of the PlayStation franchise Sly Cooper. He was voiced by Chris Murphy.

Why He’s The Murray

 * 1) He is the strongest of the Cooper Gang and is able to defeat enemies quickly. He is so strong he can lift heavy objects by pressing buttons repeatedly.
 * 2) Chris Murphy did an amazing job voicing him.
 * 3) He supports his best friends Sly and Bentley ever since they met at an orphanage. He also takes good care of their van. He helped protect Sly and Bentley from the Contessa after they left prison.
 * 4) He is filled with memorable lines such as “The Murray scores again”, “I’ll floss my teeth with your spine” and “Tip me over and I’ll smash up everything!”
 * 5) He undergoes character development in the third game. He left the Cooper Gang because of his depression to study Dreamtime under an Aboriginal Guru. Because of that, he had some mystical powers. Sly and Bentley were able to make him snap out of his trance and join their plan to open the Cooper Vault.
 * 6) Starting with the third game, he can pickpocket enemies while shaking them as he holds them. He can even pick up loot and bring it to the Safehouse.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In the first game, he is a one-dimensional coward and driver. Luckily, the developers improved him in the second game.
 * 2) In the second game, his voice was somewhat pitch shifted.
 * 3) Unlike Sly and Bentley’s Binocucoms, his doesn’t have any extra features.

Trivia

 * In the Bad Mojo Collector mission of the second game, Murray was originally going to ask Bentley “What’s a bad mofo collector” but was changed to “Huh” because the developers didn’t want to risk a T rating.
 * Murray originally was bi-curious but was changed after a test because the developers didn’t like how he sounded like Barney the Dinosaur.
