cherub is a secret branch of mi5, for children. made up mostly of orphaned children recruited from care homes, these kids receive the highest level of education in the uk, and often go on to the top universities. by the time they leave at the age of 18 years they will be fluent in more than one alternative language. they will also have completed basic training: six months of cold, hard exercise, little sleep, little food and no comfort. they will also have completed a number of missions in which children are used to do things that adults cannot. being a member of cherub is completely optional, and children can refuse to be a part or drop out anytime. they can also refuse to do any mission which they are asked to go on. ‘the reason for cherub’s existance is simple: adults never suspect that children are spying on them.’

often confused and mislabeled as baby angels.

the cherub is not a baby angel. baby angels are called putto.

the hebrew depiction took the form of winged bulls, or sphinx-like creatures with the body of a bull, the head of a man, and feathered wings.

christianity depicted them as beings with four heads. that of a man, lion, ox, and eagle. it also had four wings.

the most famous example of a depiction of cherubim is the “mercy seat”, which is either the lid, or ceremonial object that rested on top of, the ark of the covenant.
