Background
At a young age he was sent to live with his grandparent's and grew up listening to stories of his grandfather, Reme Lousteau, recovering treasure from pirate ship wrecks, however this life of adventure was cut short when his diving gear was stolen. He learned English by listening to music videos and now mimics their speech which other characters have a difficult time understanding.

Sly 2: Band of Thieves
Dimitri was a promising young art student before his corruption. He developed his own style, dubbed "kinetic aesthetic", which consisted of him merely 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, Dimitri 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 (which could be a reference to Tony Montana learning Englishfrom movies). Sly responds, "I have no idea what you're saying. And your suit sucks!" Insulted, Dimitri attacks. Dodging blasts of energy from Dimitri's ring, Sly beats the lounge lizard and retrieves the Clockwerk tail feathers. Dimitri was shortly thereafter arrested by Carmelita Fox and Constable Neyla. The end credits for Sly 2 show Dimitri has become a dance instructor on a cruise ship. However, in the second Sly Cooper comic, he is shown as being in jail, serving time in Heathrow Prison. At the beginning of Sly 3, Sly helps Dimitri escape by cracking the lock on the cell door.

Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
Sly later ran into Dimitri in Venice during his first mission of when he tangles with Octavio. Seeking the missing Murray, Sly found Dimitri instead, locked up in a Venice prison (which questioned his ending at Sly 2 and why Dimitri would still be in jail according to Sly). Dimitri is still peeved at Sly for ruining him, still calling his nickname "Cracker box" before nearly getting the cops' attention. Cutting a deal, the two arranged for Dimitri to escape while Sly kept Carmelita busy outside. In return, the former forger alerted Murray to the presence of his friends in Venice, thus facilitating the Cooper Gang's reassembly.

Running into Dimitri in Holland, where he is 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, despite not being asked to do so. 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."

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
Dimitri will appear in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time according to a concept art and his appearance in the debut trailer. He has a gold cane in the game and it remains unknown if it's his primary weapon or even if he is a playable character. He could have his electric ring from Band of Thieves. Dimitri in the Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time E3 2011 Trailer.==Description== Dimitri is an anthropomorphic marine iguana (however, in the comics he is called a lizard). In Sly 2, he wears a dark green suit and a red shirt underneath. When depicted in his diving gear, it is obvious he is reasonably fatter in the stomach than originally believed. This could be because his original suit was designed to keep his belly tucked in. He speaks an odd form of English, which contains bits of street slang he learned from watching hip-hop music videos. This strange form of English mostly consists of phrases like "Show your bling, and let me shine you," "Let's dance," "I'm mag-to the-jag-to the-nificiant!" and his unofficial catchphrase, "Greasy Sweet!!". He gives nicknames to his associates, frequently calling Sly a "crackerbox" and Murray "Main man Murray". 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 when they're alone, thinking she's in love with him and notBentley. This leads her to come up with two rules: "1. Get over yourself, and 2. I mean it, get over yourself". His user name in the Thiefnet chatroom is shown as being "greasysweet1", and his code name on the Cooper Vault Job is "Agent Deep Six".

Abilities
Dimitri is not a high level fighter like Sly himself (Sly constantly points this out in Sly 3 as a means of threatening him), but he coped by moving at blinding speeds and firing energy from a ring, which if shot too much shorts out. In water Dimitri shows to be a superior fighter in the water by using swift evasive maneuvers and a spear gun, with which he proves to be an excellent marksman. His water skills were enough to defeat Dr. M and his mutant angler fish.

He is also stated by Sly to have "the best fashion sense of anyone I know" and even though he was just flattering him to get information, it's most likely the truth.

In the April 2012 PlayStation Magazine, he's shown wielding a cane of his own. Whether or not that is his primary weapon of sorts is unknown.
