The full history of the Trinity siblings is unclear, however they have been secretly active before the events of A.D. 2307. According to the novelization, the Trinitys are actually the ''children'' of [[Ribbons Almark]]. Using his own genetic material, he used cloning facilities to give birth to his personal Meister troupe. For unexplained reasons, the Trinitys are fully aware of their creation, but not of their "father". After activation, they were went to [[Laguna Harvey]], given a spaceship, the Throne Gundams, and various secrets pertaining Celestial Being.
During their first season appearance, Trinity is shown to take orders from Laguna Harvey, a traitor to Celestial Being and a leading figure in the transportation industry. They have their own mission objectives beyond the knowledge of the majority of other members of the organization (such as the crew of the Ptolemaios). They take an active role in military intervention, independent of the original Gundam Meisters' objectives and Veda (as noted by Tieria Erde, they did not previously exist in Veda's database).

===World Armed Intervention===
Their Earth base is located in the mountains of Africa. They also possess their own Mothership. Their missions entail total annihilation of military bases leaving no survivors, not even civilians. All three siblings are implied to be created for the sole purpose of becoming Gundam Meisters.

At the near defeat of Celestial Being, the Thrones provided assistance and freed the Meisters from the world armies.

====Battle for GN Drive====
Their missions and actions had been called into question on numerous occasions by both the world and members of Celestial Being itself. Eventually, Trinity began to play a more antagonistic role, rising to its climax when Setsuna F Seiei, enraged by their complete disregard for human lives, engaged the Throne Meisters in combat. He was shortly joined by Tieria Erde and Lockon Stratos, who helped him partake in the battle of Gundam vs. Gundam. Tieria attempted to bring down the Throne Gundams using the armour-purged GN-004 Gundam Nadleeh's Trial System, yet was intercepted by Ribbons Almark's hacking of Veda. The siblings eventually retreated, but not before revealing Setsuna's true identity to his fellow Meisters.

Shortly after their intervention at the Taklamakan desert, the Trinitys headed to space to intercept [[Fereshte]]. They went there in attempts to acquire an original GN Drive.

Fon retaliated and fought against the Trinitys. To swiftly acquire the [[GN Drive]], Johann had Veda detonate Fon's explosive necklace. While the move critically injured Fon,[[Hanayo]] ejected and escaped with Plutone's core fighter. With the GN Drive lost, the Trinitys returned to their mothership to intercept the Ptolemy crew.

====Meeting The Ptolemy Crew====
As a result of the lack of TD blankets in the Thrones' GN Drive, the weapons used by their Gundams possess a side-effect apparently not present in the primary group's, producing a type of radiation that damages human stem cells, precluding the use of regenerative medicine, as shown by Louise Halevy's inability to regrow her amputated hand after Nena's attack on her cousin's wedding. These "counterfeit" GN Drives, also known as Tau drives, require charging as they do not have the capability of producing unlimited energy like the original GN drives.

Notes

  • Team Trinity shares a striking similarity with the 3 Extended pilots in Gundam SEED Destiny. Both "teams" are consisted of 2 male and 1 female enhanced human (Extended in SEED-D's case, semi-innovator in Team Trinity's case), with the leader being calm, and the second male being brutal and violent.
  • Although Trinity's past and origins remain a mystery in the show itself, the official Mobile Suit Gundam 00 novels state that the three siblings were created by Ribbons Almark, who used parts of his own DNA to engineer human beings with several Innovator-like traits. As a result, they are able to perform otherwise impossible tasks such as interfacing with Veda and using quantum brainwaves. But unlike the Innovades, the Trinity siblings have significantly less androgynous appearances.
