History
Cupids are Angels of Heaven who are part of a lower order of angels known as Cherubs. They appear to be stronger than humans - hen Dean punches one in the face, the cupid stood there un-phased.
Here are dozens of them stationed on Earth and they are responsible for marking humans making them fall in love on instruction from Heaven. One important couple brought together by a cherub is John and Mary. Their marriage was 'top priority' to Michael, and the Cherub met by Sam and Dean tells them that John and Mary couldn't stand one another at first.
They greet people by hugging them.
Appearances
5.14 My Bloody Valentine
Dean, Sam and Castiel make their way to a small restaurant while searching for a cupid. Soon after their arrival Castiel notices a supernatural disturbance. Castiel follows the entity into a back room and somehow traps him. Castiel then demands that the entity show itself to Dean and Sam. The cupid manifests as a naked man, and runs up to each of them giving hugs. Castiel demands to know if the cupid is responsible for the deaths of a couple he brought together. Cupid explains that he touched the couple's hearts as instructed, and did not know what happened after that. Castiel is still suspicious, so the cupid asks Castiel to read his mind to see the truth. Castiel agrees, and after a few moments declares that the cupid is innocent. The cupid then reveals to Dean and Sam the truth about how John and Mary met; Dean is disgusted by Cupid's remarks, and punches him in the face. Dean staggers back, and the cupid, overcome by emotion, disappears.

Cherub Angels In Lore
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.
Attributes of Cherub Source.
- They guard, watch and monitor God's throne room at all times.
- They have four different faces, each representing a different organism, and have four wings that are used for flight. Two of the wings extended upward, meeting above and sustaining the throne of God; while the other two stretched downward and covered the creatures themselves.
- God also stationed two Cherubs at the gate of the Garden of Eden.
