Contessa (Sly Cooper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Contessa is a character from the video game Sly 2: Band of Thieves.

[edit] Biography

Originally a criminal psychology student, Contessa married a wealthy aristocrat. However, only a few weeks after the ceremony, her betrothed mysteriously died (The Contessa had poisned him because after their glasses met the rich guy had bubbles over his glass). Using her knowledge of criminal thinking and her newly inherited estate, she opened a rehabilitation clinic for criminals. She used hypnosis to cure criminals of their illegal urges, and gained a high position within Interpol.

Contessa first appeared to Sly and co. at Rajan's ball, accompanying Carmelita Fox and Constable Neyla. She later appeared with them at Rajan's temple, where she placed Sly, Murray, and Carmelita under arrest (she arrested Carmelita because Neyla framed her for being an accomplice). Following her to her clinic in Prague, Bentley bugged her with his sleep darts. He discovered her to be a secret member of the Klaww Gang, hypnotizing criminals to learn the location of their loot. She was also using illegal spice to help with the hypnosis, and contributed hypnosis light wave generators to Arpeggio's blimp.

After failing to hypnotize Murray, Contessa fled her clinic for her castle estate. Her possession of the Clockwerk Eyes was revealed, powerful tools in the art of hypnotism. A war broke out betewen the Contessa and Constable Neyla. The gang did all they can to end it. Her immediate plan, and one Sly and his friends would not allow, was to hypnotize Carmelita, with a Mind Shuffler, into becoming her personal puppet, so that she would take the fall with Interpol. However, Sly, Murray, and Bentley disrupted her plans and Sly defeated her in combat. During the credits of Sly 2, it is said that the Contessa has gone into a successful real estate business.

Contessa was an anthropomorphic spider. After her incarceration, she became a highly successful real estate broker.
