Storyline
A year after the events of *Band of Thieves*, Sly Cooper, Bentley, Murray, and a few other unconfirmed characters try to access the Cooper Vault on Kaine Island. However, their mission is interrupted by Dr. M, who owns the island. Murray and Bentley manage to escape, but a creature captures Sly. As he is taken, Sly experiences a vision of his life, and the game transitions into a flashback. Sly discovered the location of the Cooper Vault on Kaine Island from his father's old friend, Jim McSweeney. The vault holds the vast wealth of the Cooper Clan, amassed over centuries. When Sly arrived to claim it, he found that Dr. M had constructed a fortress on the island, trying to reach the treasure for himself. To overcome Dr. M's elaborate defenses, Sly needed to reunite the Cooper Gang. First, Sly and Bentley track down Murray, who had left the team out of guilt for causing an injury to Bentley that eventually left him paralyzed. They find out that Murray is in Venice, Italy, under the influence of a mob boss named Octavio. Sly locates Dimitri in a jail cell at the local police station. Dimitri agrees to help find Murray if Sly assists him in escaping. While avoiding Carmelita Fox, who has grown more hostile toward crime since their last meeting, Sly finds Murray. Murray has been training under a peace advocate known as the Guru to become more nonviolent. He refuses to return to the team until he completes the Guru’s task of cleaning the canals. Sly and Bentley take on Octavio, who has been poisoning the canals with tar in a plot to manipulate the city into embracing opera once more. After devising a plan, they sabotage Octavio’s comeback performance. During the chaos, Octavio injures Bentley, which angers Murray so much that he abandons his training and fights Octavio, defeating him. Octavio is arrested, and Murray agrees to rejoin the team.
