Cherubs

History

Origin

Castiel: your people call them "Cupid"...what human myth has mistaken for "Cupid" is actually a lower order of angel. Technically it's a cherub, third-class.

• Appears in: 5.14 My Bloody Valentine
• Played by: Lex Medlin

In Supernatural, the term Cherub simply describes a lower order or Angels, which humans commonly refer to as Cupids. There are dozens of them on Earth as of now, according to Castiel^{5.14 My Bloody Valentine}

John and Mary Winchester fell in love because Michael had a Cherub intervene which ultimately resulted in their marriage; they also couldn't stand each other prior to a Cherubs intervention^{5.14 My Bloody Valentine}

Powers and Abilites

They can manipulate the mere nature of "love" itself - they can bring the most opposite of humans together. Their durability capacity far exceeds that of a typical human's. They seem capable of instantaneous manifestation. When Castiel ordered one to reveal himself, he immediately appeared in human form. Whether or not he used a vessel is unknown.

Cherub Angels In Lore

A Cherub angel as depicted on Wikipedia

The information below is info derived from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherub but I reworded and reorganized the information.

Cherubs or Cherubim are an order of angels that are of a lower ranking than Seraphs but they outclass all other angels of the angelic choir or spheres which divides, separates and fully compromises the angelic society.
