[edit] History
[edit] Sly 2
Dimitri was a promising young art student before his corruption. He developed his own style, dubbed "kinetic aesthetic", which was merely him swinging back and forth from a rope tied around his waist and painting the canvas when he swung by. Alas, it was rejected outright and Dimitri was cast out of the art community. Infuriated, he began forging old masterpieces, his idea of punishing those with bad taste.
Joining the Klaww Gang, Dimtri set up a nightclub in Paris, drawing in patrons from all around the city. Funneling illegal spice sent from Rajan into the population by covering food with it, Dimitri contributed greatly to Arpeggio's plans. In addition, Dimitri modified the Clockwerk Tail Feathers for use as printing plates. Using their unique alloy, Dimitri could create an endless supply of counterfeit money.
After several missions, Sly confronted Dimitri in his lair. Sly was quickly befuddled by Dimitri's strange English, which he had learned from watching music videos. Sly responds, "I have absolutely no idea what you just said. And your suit sucks." Insulted, Dimitri attacks. Dodging blasts of energy from Dimitri's rings, Sly beat the lounge lizard and retrieved the Clockwerk tail feathers. Dimitri was shortly thereafter arrested by Carmelita Fox and Constable Neyla. The end credits for Sly 2 show Dimitri is a dance instructor on a cruise ship.
[edit] Sly 3
Sly later ran into Dimitri in Venice during his efforts against Octavio. Seeking the missing Murray, Sly found Dimitri instead, locked up in a Venice prison. Cutting a deal, the two arranged for Dimitri to escape. In return, the former forger alerted Murray to the presence of his friends in Venice, thus facilitating the Cooper Gang's reassembly. How he ended up in jail is unknown because of his fate at the end of Sly 2. It's possible Sly 3 occurred before Dimitri became a dance instructor. This, however, is doubted, as Dimitri becomes a celebrity skin diver at the end of Sly 3, judging by his character, it is unlikely he would give up the girls and the money for a job as a dance instructor.It's possible he encountered a problem while he was an instructor and was arrested or sued.
Running into Dimitri in Holland, where he was working as an announcer, Sly requested that he help the Cooper Gang locate the lineup for the ACES dogfight tournament, giving Team Cooper a heads up on who they would be flying against so they could enact sabotage. After being pressured, Dimitri agreed, but only if the gang agreed to owe him a favor. Calling in that favor later, Dimitri summoned the Cooper Gang to Blood Bath Bay.
In this pirate location, Dimitri's grandfather, Reme Lousteau, had created diving gear and stolen loot from sunken ships. However, the gear was stolen, and Reme started a family. Dimitri grew up on the stories, and vowed to reclaim the treasure. After he helps the gang beat Captain LeFwee, he joins the gang as their frog-man. After the gang split up, Dimitri became a professional skin diver with girls and money. The last Bentley heard from him was a postcard: "I'm here, wish you were fine-like me."
[edit] Description
Dimitri is an anthropomorphic iguana. He speaks an odd form of English, which contains bits of street slang he learned from watching hiphop music videos. This strange form of English mostly consists of phrases like "Show me your bling," "Let me shine you," and his unofficial catchphrase, "GREASY SWEET!" Dimitri also has an enormous ego, which is only enhanced when he obtains his diving gear. He also believes that he is irresistible to women, including hitting on Penelope. This leads her to come up with two rules: 1. Get over yourself, and 2. I mean it, get over yourself.
