Sly Cooper (voiced by Kevin Miller) is the protagonist of the series. He is a young male adult raccoon that is part of a long line of master thieves. Early in his life, he witnessed the savage murder of his mother and father when the Fiendish Five stole his family's Thievius Raccoonus, which holds many of the Cooper clan's best thief moves. He was forced into an orphanage, where he met his best friends, Bentley and Murray. With them, he forms his gang of thieves, the Cooper Gang. He is nimblest of the gang, so he is sent out the most on missions, therefore making him the most played character. He uses a hooked cane, a family heirloom, as a multi-purpose tool. Sly is extremely athletic, and can perform feats such as walking on wires, landing on small points, sliding on vines, and falling from great heights while sustaining less damage. He can also use disguises as an advantage to get across easily-inaccessible areas. His signature color is blue.

Bentley (voiced by Matt Olsen) is the brains of Sly's gang. He is a turtle who is skilled with computers, gadgets, and explosives, and generally helps with reconnaissance and mission-planning while Sly is out in the field. Later on, his legs are injured under the jaws of his enemy clockwerk so he is forced into a wheelchair, which he handily equips with gadgets. It is stated that he also constructed a time-machine, which is seen and used in the fourth game. His signature color is green.

Murray (voiced by Chris Murphy) is the muscle of the Gang and Sly's full-time wheelman and part-time burden, in charge of driving the Cooper Gang's van to various locations. As a large pink hippopotamus, he is amazingly strong. He often ventures to the field on missions requiring such strength. When Bentley was injured, he blamed himself and left the Gang, but eventually returned. Later, he began participating in the pro-driving circuit, but switched to demolition derby. His signature color is magenta.

Carmelita Fox (voiced by Roxana Ortega - Sly 1, Alesia Glidewell - Sly 2, Ruth Livier - Sly 3, Grey DeLisle - Sly 4), a member of Interpol as a police officer, is Sly's nemesis, as well as a love interest. She is a vixen who has her mind set on capturing Sly and his crew, but also demonstrates some romantic feelings for him, which Sly often uses to escape capture at the last minute. She uses a shock pistol as her weapon of choice, which now has a lock-on target feature. Her signature color is golden yellow.
