The Scarlet Wings were the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' elite, “specially-trained mobile task force”.
Nature
The Crew's normal procedure, after detecting a new universe through the Celestial Telescopes, was to send out the Scarlet Wings to scout it out. After they confirmed it was safe for romanticisation, normal patrols would start to be dispatched. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids)
History
Prior to their retirement, Arganthone-056 belonged to the organisation. In 1984, they participated on a mission to the Euclidean Plane which involved them breaking into the Geometrons' Pentagon's Library, as they later recollected to Juliet-178 and Jenny Everywhere.

In 1994, the Scarlet Wings (including Operative Amity-965) were dispatched to the Prime Universe to investigate after the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' emergency supply warehouse on Earth was burgled. Finding a trail of “enormous feathers” left behind, the Scarlet Wings followed it back to what turned out to be the headquarters of the Mob of the Maroon Magpie, filled with stolen items, including many belonging to the Crew. They tried to take back the Cupids' possessions but accidentally triggered an alarm, summoning a number of Maroon Magpies. Although there was a brief scuffle, the Cupids and Magpies soon agreed to parlay and came to a provisional agreement (albeit not one the Cupid Parliament ended up ratifying after the Scarlet Wings returned to the Cupid Homeworld and made their report).

Marksmanship-522 was a Senior Agent of the organisation. After Tracker-764 and Bibliophile-962 helped Tracker during the Rifts Crisis, Marksmanship recommended the former for accelerated integration into the Scarlet Wings. The Hound was also given a honorary position within the group. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!)
