Cherubs are [[Angel|angels of Heaven]] who are part of a lower order, colloquially known as "cupids." Like all angel classes, they are stronger than humans -- hence when [[Dean]] punches one in the face, the cherub is unharmed, while Dean clutched his hand in pain. They greet people and other [[angel]]s by hugging them, even strangers, a type of greeting that is not usually received well.
There are dozens of them stationed on Earth and they are responsible for marking humans, making to make them fall in love , on the instructions from [[Heaven]]. One important couple brought together by a cherub was [[John Winchester]] and [[Mary Campbell]]. Their marriage was "top priority," and the cherub met by [[Sam]] and Dean tells them that John and Mary couldn't stand one another at first.
While the angelic civil wars in Heaven raged, it appeared that the cupids stationed on Earth began to gradually lose contact with their superiors; the daily orders from Heaven of who to match together became less and less. It is assumed that once [[Hannah]] took on leadership and brought order to Heaven once more, that orders for the cherubs resumed on a daily basis.
