Murray Murphy
Murray Murphy, the Brawn
Murray is best friends with Sly and Bentley, and is a member of the Cooper Gang. He has a great love for his van, which he drives when the gang needs a quick getaway.
His demeanor changed drastically throughout the years, going from a timid getaway driver to someone much more fearless, often throwing himself into dangerous situations just for the thrill of it.
Backstory
In circumstances that have never been revealed, Murray was orphaned at a young age. He was raised at the Happy Camper Orphanage where he met Sly and Bentley. During their time at the orphanage, the trio made a plan to steal cookies from the headmistress Mrs. Puffin. In the middle of the night, Sly snuck into Puffin's office to grab the cookie jar while Murray stood by as a getaway driver. The "heist" was cut short when the night janitor entered Puffin's office. Promising to keep Sly from getting caught, Murray pedaled his tricycle (the getaway vehicle) away at full speed. However, the tricycle had no brakes, and they crashed. Murray apologized but cheered up after seeing that Sly had managed to dump the cookies into his hat at the last second. Later, Murray was enjoying all of the cookies without sharing any with the rest of the gang.
At some point during his youth, Murray learned how to drive by hot-wiring cars. He later got a job as a pizza delivery boy but was fired after dropping too many pizzas.
