- "Okay, guys, it's time. Now's our moment. Remember everything that horny little fudge-knuckle did to us because now we make him pay. For the humans, for the heavens, and most of all for us! Let's go kick some ass!"
- ―Cletus, to Collin and Keenie
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. Later, in "The Full Moon", he and his co-workers joined with the agents of D.H.O.R.K.S. to take revenge on I.M.P.
Appearance[]
Cletus is a small cherub who takes the appearance of a white-skinned human baby with short, light coral puffed hair, a small light pink nose, and large periwinkle eyes with no irises or pupils. He also has pale rosy cheeks.
His outlines, eyebrows, and eyelashes are colored in a shade of dark purple. He also sports a white halo hovering above his head, and a pair of periwinkle-and-white feathered wings on his back.
Cletus wears a pair of coral overalls over a light yellow shirt with a white peter-pan collar, and periwinkle flats.
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 started to cry 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".
- Exoskeleton Proficiency - along with his colleagues, Cletus is capable of piloting and fighting with the weaponized exoskeletons provided by D.H.O.R.K.S.

Trivia[]
- Like his colleagues, Cletus's name derives from a country famous for shepherding. In his case, "Cletus" is a Greek name.
- 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.
