Cletus

"Well, howdy! I'm Cletus! Welcome to Heaven! Guess you did something good to get here, and good people deserve to give loved ones special blessings!"

- Cletus, introducing himself

Cletus is a cherub angel who appears in the Helluva Boss episode "C.H.E.R.U.B". He is a former member of C.H.E.R.U.B and is a supporting antagonist alongside Keenie and Collin.

He was later banished from Heaven alongside his co-workers due to indirectly killing a human.

Appearance
Much like most Cherubs, Cletus has an angelic glow and wings with his outlines being purple. He looks most human though, not having fur or hooves for feet. He has circles as his blush.

His eyes are large, and light purple in color. He possesses a halo, though it is unknown if he still has it. His overalls, matching his light ginger hair, are an orange with a mix of pinkish red with two silver buttons.

Under the overalls he wears a light baby yellow shirt with a white collar. His eyebrows are a darker purple, but still light. Just like the other Cherubs, all of Cletus' outlines are done in purple.

Personality
Like his fellow cherubs, Cletus is very optimistic and tries his best to save Lyle Lipton, although he is the one who ends up killing him by accident.

While usually happy and carefree, Cletus is shown to get very angry when I.M.P gets in the way of his attempts to save Lyle; he even goes far as trying to shoot them multiple times with a bow.

He also appears to be incredibly self righteous, even more so than his colleagues. He even acknowledges the man he's trying to save is a terrible person and by that extent, seemingly knowing he's beyond their help, but, he's determined to save him, anyway.

However, this appears to be more out of obligation to his job rather than any moral obligation. He appears to get rather emotional, as shown when he burst into tears after being expelled from Heaven.

Abilities

 * Flight - Along with all the other abilities of Cherubs, Cletus can fly due to his wings, and can fly quite quickly and is swift with his wings in battle, even though his wings are quite small.
 * Weapon Summoning - Like all other Cherubs, Cletus has the ability to summon an angelic crossbow that's unique to him, as well as golden arrows to load it with. When released from the crossbow, these arrows leave behind a visible trail of bright sparkling golden light.

Skillset

 * Musical Talent - He is shown to have the ability to sing well in the beginning of the episode "C.H.E.R.U.B.".

"C.H.E.R.U.B"
Cletus, Collin and Keenie of C.H.E.R.U.B go to Earth to stop Lyle Lipton from committing suicide only to run into trouble with I.M.P. The three imps attempt to convince Lyle to continue the process of taking his own life by showing him the worst of the world as they refute against the cherubs attempt to convince him to stay alive.

When the cherubs take Lyle to an opera and Blitzo attempts to ruin the show, the imps and cherubs begin fighting. Cletus and Collin shoot arrows at Blitzo and Moxxie, then chase after and shoot them at Moxxie and Millie. Cletus goes to fight Blitzo on scaffolding but the imp throws his gun and it hits Cletus in the face.

The fight between Blitzo and Cletus causes a row of stage lights to fall onto and partially destroy the stage, launching a piano into the air that kills Lyle. Having failed to save Lyle, the cherubs attempt to return to Heaven, but are stopped by a group of cherubs, and Deerie, who blocks them from returning due to causing the death of a human. Cletus then begins crying.

Trivia

 * Like his colleagues, Cletus's name derives from a country famous for shepherding. In his case, "Cletus" is a Greek name.
 * The members of C.H.E.R.U.B are the first cherubs shown to be banished from Heaven onscreen. It is currently unknown if Cletus is still on Earth or somewhere else.
 * Cletus is currently the only known humanoid Cherub, as all the other Cherubs seen thus far are anthropomorphic animals such as lambs, fawns, and bumblebees.
 * He shares the same voice actor as Wally Wackford, Travis, and Mister Butler, with the four of them being voiced by Don Darryl Rivera.
 * With the trio from C.H.E.R.U.B being a mirror of I.M.P, Cletus can be seen as the parallel of Blitzo, as both are the leaders of their respective teams.
