Murray

Also know as The Murray, one of the few things known about his early life is that he was a pizza delivery boy, who hotwired cars and was fired for dropping the pizzas.
He serves as the team driver and the muscle in their operations.

Murray was at first cowardly and rather prone to doing stupid things, but during the two years between facing the Fiendish Five and the Klaww Gang, he turned into a professional wrestler-like combatant, who still sometimes did stupid things.
Murray's main weapons are his fists, which he uses to utmost effeciency in protecting his friends.
Murray was deeply wounded phsycologically during the Klaww Gang jobs, first by the loss of the team van, and then by Bentley's injuries.
This prompted Murray to leave the team and start a life of pacifism.

However, it wasn't long before Sly and Bentley came to collect him.
Murray suffered phsycollogically from the Klaww Gang ordeal.
Blaming himself for Bentley's injuries, he left the team and took up a life of non-violence and solace.

However, Sly and Bentley's recruitment of a new Band of Thieves quickly pulls him back into the action.
Murray is quite large and has an enormous appetite.
He is depicted as a weakling in the first game, and unbelievably strong in every game after.

Murray is by far the strongest of the Cooper trio, and arguably is also the most battle ready of the three.
Murray is also known for saying some of the series' most hilarious lines and having a peculiarly strong love of his van, the team's getaway vehicle.
Murray throughout the games wears a blue t-shirt that looks a bit too small for him, and a light blue scarf to go with his driver motif and no pants.

In the second game and on Murray dons a maroon mask over his head and matching fighting gloves over his hands when donning his "The Murray" persona in battle.
Murray also appears to wear thick rim glasses... although they could also be goggles or perhaps a strange hybrid of the two.
Goggles would certainly go with his driver motif and he shows in Sly 3 that he doesn't really need glasses like Bentley does.
Although he is generally a very nice guy, Murray has shown that he has quite a bit of repressed anger.

Whether this is due to his experiences in the orphanage or something else is never explored in any of the games.
This is highlighted during Episode 4 of Sly 2, where the Contessa points this out.
 This is also evident by his violent outbursts when any of his friends are harmed, and could also be a reason for his decision to leave the team due to feeling responsible for Bentley's injury at the end of Sly 2.

Although this is quelled seemingly by Sly 3 due to his time with the aboriginal Guru, Murray still seems quite comfortable with his hot-blooded inner rage when he needs it.
