There's no history or gravitas surrounding them in Eorzea (XIV). There is as VI's "contribution" to the story, and in their home game, but besides that the Warring Triad is just like Bahamut - primals from a bygone age who will probably go on a rampage and bring about a Calamity if left unchecked. In-universe, all we know is that they're called the Warring Triad. That's it. Out-of-universe we know the first of the three is named Sephirot, and from that we can infer the other two will be Zurvan and Sophia, but that tells us nothing of their character or motivations. Regardless, from what we understand sealing away primals just causes them to build up anger and hate they then take out on the world in its present state no matter who is to blame when they're let out of their can.
Granted, that's just running on Bahamut, and he was a kind of special case (kept conscious within Dalamud for five millennia while being forced to listen to his worshipers' pleas - understandably driven insane), but we don't yet know what the situation with the Triad is like yet. We see some foliage in Sephirot's arena, and there's organic gunk in the Triad Control chamber, but... nothin'. Now it would be really boring (or at least repetitive) to have them just replay Bahamut's wrath or just have them show up, fight us, and then disappear, but we don't know anything about the Triad in-universe yet, beyond that they were captured by the Allagans in 3AE and imprisoned on Azys Lla.
... we'll have to stop them anyway, because it's been drilled into our heads that "Primals are bad, mmkay?", but there is stuff they could do with them...
