The Triad is a recurring motive across theologies and mythologies across the world, which are usually grouping of three beings such as deities, angels, demons or other beings.
Arguably the most famous tirades of the world are the Holy Trinity from Christianity, which consists of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, and the Hindu Trimurti, alongside Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
