Since I've been seeing quite a discussion around it, allow me to clarify something.

The Japanese title for Black Alice's vanguard is kuro no sanki (黒の三貴), which translates into something along the lines of Three Nobles of Black. (though it could also be something along the lines of Lords, Elites, etc.)."Black Triad" was initially used in the library translations because, at the time, almost nothing was really known about Black Alice's vanguard. Once I had begun translating their talk scripts, it became more clear that the title isn't just for show; they have pretty high opinions of themselves, and want to remind you they're Black Alice's elite. There are probably some alternative translations that could be used, maybe Dargoth will think up something better when he finally translates this portion of the game...

Fun fact; One of the questions Kurobara (the vampire tactician of the three) may ask you is what their title is. Among the options are also 黒の三人 (Three people of black) and 三馬鹿 (three idiots).
