Do note that "person" is a poor translation. It is more apter to say "personas" or hypostases (Personhood in the Trinity does not match the common Western understanding of "person" as used in the English language—it does not imply an "individual, self-actualized center of free will and conscious activity" Each hypostases is understood as having the one identical essence or nature, not merely similar natures.)

these three hypostases consistute the Τριάς
