The Triangular Society was a group of Clockwork Cherub, internal to the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.

Nature

The group included Conquest-932, Larrikin-1029, Robespierre-1665, Gaius-816 and Conspiracy-1263, being made up of Cupids who wished to foment the overthrowing of the Cupid Parliament for various reasons. (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy) Conquest served as “Grandmaster”. He wore hooded robes to meetings, with the other members simply wearing hoods, and they used a simple triangle motif as their symbol. (COMIC: A Slight Misunderstanding) One Recorder Cupid once noted that most incidents relating to trouble-making or mischief within the Crew involved one or more members of the Society, though not always in their capacity as members of the Society. (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy)

History

After the Copper-Colored Council of Elders rejected his suggestions to make the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' activities more warlike and aggressive, (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box) Conquest decided to overthrow the established Cupid government by force, founding the Triangular Society. He called the first meeting, which comprised for other members, in a shed in the Homeworld. His attempts to strike a sinister, serious tone were hindered by one of the recruits being under the impression that this was a Halloween party and asking when they'd start bobbing for apples.

Some time later, while walking around the Cupid Homeworld, Pythagoras-858 spotted Conquest-932 sneaking around in his hooded black Triangular robes. Pythe stopped him on his authority as Prefect of the Department of Problem-Solving, reasoning that he certainly looked like a problem in the making. Conquest tried to claim that his robes were not an emblem of evil but merely a way to protect his identity, something Pythe instantly disproved by pointing out that with such a relatively low overall number of Cupids, everybody knew everybody else and Pythe was well aware that he was talking to Conquest.

Some time in November 2019, Conquest's plans with the Triangular Society reached a crescendo when he successfully dynamited the Cupid Parliament building. In this, he was unexpectedly assisted by a random Parliament-member who'd caught him in the act, and made a snap decision to get some catharsis by helping along instead of trying to stop him.

When Bibliophile-962 organised a Christmas party in the Department of Documentation's break room, Conquest, wearing his black robes and wielding a sword, attempted to intercept Larrikin-1029's delivery of a Christmas pudding prepared by Baker-954, shouting something about “destroying all baked goods so as to destroy the Homeworld's morale”. Larrikin, however, was able to get away unharmed, and with an intact pudding. (PROSE: Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding)
