Aeon and Venus

The Trinity is a trio of goddesses in Skullgirls. They are Venus Lovelace, Aeon, and their mother.

They have a church dedicated to them called the Grand Cathedral (which is also a fighting stage in the game). Many people come to the church to give their confessions, tithes, and so on. Because the Trinity are females, people will say "Goddess-speed" to anyone who could use luck.

Parasoul and Double worship them with their Petran cross (inverted crucifix) necklaces (but the Trinity mostly uses inverted celtic crosses in their statues). Double calls them "masters".

However, they are the ones who created the Skull Heart, hoping to turn the ladies of the Canopy Kingdom into Skullgirls, so they could use them to destroy the world. Marie, however, has a strong heart, so she couldn't be controlled by the Skull Heart, leaving her to continue her own mission to destroy the Medici Mafia for messing with her and Peacock. The Trinity did not accept this and wanted Double to take her down.

Mother

Mother's shadow


In Valentine's story, she intends to put an end to them and their plans of destruction. She wishes to become a Skullgirl not only to atone for turning Carol into Painwheel, but also to get a better look at them. She is hoping that her research will help the Labs in the future to bring them down for good.


It is unknown as to why The Trinity wants to destroy the world.

Trivia[]

  • The silhouette of "Mother" resembles a cross between Double's on-stage form (especially the "crown" section at the top of her head) and her nun form. It is unknown if Double copied (unsuccessfully) the form of "Mother" or if she was made like that originally.
  • There is a third confirmed member named "Lamia". She seems to derive her power from the ancient goddess known as “Mother”.
    • Eliza recognizes Double as "Queen Lamia", who attacks the former in revenge for the murder of her "daughters", Venus and Aeon.
  • The family were once a royal family of an ancient civilization that is a fictional equivalent to ancient Egypt. Eliza was once their trusted general until she rebelled against them.
    • The Greco-Roman theme of the royal family might be reminiscent of the Ptolemaic dynasty.
  • Lamia is named after a snake demon of Greek myth and Venus and Aeon have serpent parasites. The daughters in the family were presumably killed by Eliza who has a cat parasite, named after an Egyptian lion goddess. The story of a feline goddess killing a snake god seems reminiscent of the Ancient Egyptian tale of the cat goddess Bastet killing the snake god Apophis/Apep.
    • In ancient Egypt snakes were seen as pests and cats, who were already revered, were worshipped even more for killing snakes constantly. Cats and snakes are enemies in real life and have been for centuries. This inspired the Egyptian tale.
  • The Trinity live on a separate plane of existence called The Abyss. This realm does not interact with the normal world except in extremely rare cases; so rare, in fact, that Alex answered with regards to if Aeon/Venus had ever meddled in mortal affairs, "no, never." His comments about Squigly/Leviathan possibly ripping a hole in space via Abaddon's power (thus allowing Venus into their world) does make it clear that the realms can connect, though.
  • Double's Story Mode path ends with Venus and Aeon playing the game and mentioning the existence of "other routes." According to the devs, it's essentially a fancy and long-winded way of saying that none of the various plotlines are canon, but that there will be a single unifying storyline sometime in the future.
