Fictional history
Doctor Pytor Orloff is a prominent Russian scientist at the Puleski Institute in Siberia. Orloff was able to inflict super-speed on laboratory subjects using steroids and cybernetic implants, in conjunction with specialized genetic surgery. Orloff decided to create Red Trinity after conquering the adverse side effects which afflicted his prototype team, the Blue Trinity.
While the members of Blue Trinity were extrememly powerful, they were also emotionally unstable, slow witted, and prone to violence. The Red Trinity are currently known only as Anatole, Bebeck and Cassiopeia, the trio became super-powered operatives in the employ of the Russian army.
Red Trinity came into conflict with the Blue Trinity after they helped Wally West (Flash) smuggle Doctor Orloff out of Russia, because his expertise was needed to save the life of Doctor Jerry McGee (Speed Demon) in America. As a result of their trip, Red Trinity decided to make the United States their home. They started up a super-powered intercontinental messenger service called "Kapitalist Kourier Service, Inc."
Cassiopeia recently died fighting the Savitar in Flash #108.
