Cletus, Collin, and Keenie are major antagonists in the adult animated black comedy web series Helluva Boss.
They are members of C.H.E.R.U.B, dedicated to saving people's lives, including evil people, as well as the arch-rivals of Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie. While the name of their group is presumably an acronym, it is not known what it stands for. They later join up with the members of D.H.O.R.K.S. to get revenge on I.M.P.
They are voiced by Don Darryl Rivera, Jayden Libran, and Vivienne Medrano (the show's creator).
Biography[]
Background[]
Nothing is known about their past except that they joined C.H.E.R.U.B to protect the living on behalf of souls in Heaven.
Helluva Boss[]
Cletus, Collin and Keenie appear during their jingle. They appear with the mission to stop Lyle Lipton from killing himself. But they compete with the I.M.P., who want this old man death commissioned by Loopty Goopty. During the fight between the I.M.P and C.H.E.R.U.B, the cherubs accidentally kill Lyle Lipton. As a result, they were banished from Heaven by Deerie.
They returned a while later robbing people to survive on Earth, but get ambushed and meet but I.M.P’s other common enemies Agent One and Agent Two who the I.M.P fought before and defeated the Agents but they got proof of their existence to the government, as the Cherubs lie saying their exorcists as an opportunity to have the agents help them get revenge on the I.M.P.
As they are equipped with high tech mechanized robotic battle suits that match each member of the I.M.P and travel to hell since it’s only small enough for the Cherubs to fit. They track Blitzo down and plan to kill him first, but waited to see if he’s alone but they see him buying sex toys, foolishly assuming he’s planning to kill someone with those.
Before they can ambush Blitzo, they are ambushed by Loona, Moxxie and Millie, who were already aware of the Cherubs returning and what they’re doing while they were following Blitzo so he doesn’t lose their free meal ticket. But the Cherubs fight them and briefly overpower the I.M.P with their new suits, but the I.M.P got the upper hand on them with their teamwork and have the Cherubs defeated once again.
As Cherubs retreat, Loona takes the tracker from Cletus and violently knocks them back to Earth to D.H.O.R.K.S HQ, were Agent One and Two were waiting for them and asked how’d it go. Later on in "Apology Tour", it's shown that the Cherubs and D.H.O.R.K.S have resumed attempts to re-enter Hell and are spooked by Blitzø when he uses his newly acquired Asmodean Gem to send sorry cards to Agents One and Two, though he does send an insulting card to the Cherubs instead.
Personality[]
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 seems to be more out of obligation to his job rather than any moral obligation. He appears to get rather emotional, as shown from when he was expelled from Heaven.
Collin is sweet, sensitive and soft-spoken. Like the rest of C.H.E.R.U.B, Collin is dedicated to his job, going as far as to target anyone who interferes. However, he is the only one who is genuinely committed toward the message of goodwill the organization delivers, having shown care for his clients and explaining to them the positive aspects of living to lift their hopes, as opposed to his colleagues who seem to only help out of obligation. Collin appears to hold the most restraint out of the three, hardly uttering foul language and is the least quick to resort to anger. Even toward the inappropriate actions of the I.M.P., Collin, while frustrated, merely chided them for their malicious behavior and was flabbergasted why they were constantly trying to interfere. When he's worried, angered or nervous, Collin starts to stutter, and he will nearly use God's name in vain, notably being the only time he ever comes close to swearing.
Keenie poses a very kind demeanor and attempts to inspire others through her job, she's shown to be very dedicated for her work both as an angel and in C.H.E.R.U.B, not hesitating to head into combat if outside forces don't go her way. She doesn't, however, seem to be totally invested in the lives of her clients, and instead appears to only want to help them out of obligation to her job rather than out of sympathy. Being an angel, Keenie has a very modest nature having low tolerance to what she finds indecent, such as Blitzo making an inappropriate joke or when Collin uses the Lord's name in vain. However, she appears to be very prejudiced and judgmental towards Demons, as she refers to them as disgusting, loathsome beasts that "shitty dead people" tread on. Ironically, she is shown to cuss when angered to a high point, even though she still considers I.M.P's actions and slang inappropriate, along with chastising Collin for accidentally using the Lord's name in vain even though she has used far worse language than he has. She has also shown to be the most aggressive and violent of the cherubs, kickstarting the brawl between them and the imps when Millie pushed her too far.
Appearance[]
Much like most Cherubs, Cletus has an angelic glow and wings with his lines being purple. He looks most human though, not having fur or hooves for feet. He has circles as his blush, similar to Charlie. 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.
Collin resembles an anthropomorphic sheep. He has a white halo that hovers over his head and has wings on his back. His skin and eyes are periwinkle, and he wears a white bow tie around his neck.
Keenie has the form of a small anthropomorphic sheep with yellow fur, along with a yellow halo and wings. Her eyes have purple pupils with pink irises, and she wears a yellow dress with a pink bowtie.
Abilities and Powers[]
- Flight: Being angels, they have wings to fly.
- Weapon Summoning: They have the ability to summon any type of weapon with their magic.
- Archery: They have great skill with the bow.
- Portal Summoning: They can summon a portal to leave or return to heaven, before they were banished by C.H.E.R.U.B.
Trivia[]
- Cletus, Collin and Keenie are the first cherubs shown to be banished from Heaven onscreen.
- They are also confirmed to be the lowest of the angel ranking, being Heaven's versions of imps, however the show's creator has stated Heaven is not an exact parallel of Hell and thus is unlikely to be separated into layers in the same manner Hell is (however angels are confirmed to come in many shapes, the cherubs seem the most cartoon-ish in nature while beings such as the Exorcists are more militant and dangerous.)
- Fans theorized that due to being kicked out of Heaven the cherubs will become demons themselves, the more likely case is they will be rogue spirits neither connected to Heaven nor Hell since true demons such as imps are confirmed to have been born in Hell and Sinners are former humans, some of the Princes were former angels (such as Lucifer) but would obviously be from a far, far different league than cherubs.
- This theory was debunked when the trailer for Season 2 came out, as the trailer revealed that the cherubs will join forces with D.H.O.R.K.S. to get revenge I.M.P. This was shown in "The Full Moon".
- Keenie is the only member to not get named in the episode. Whereas Cletus says his name in the introduction of the episode and Collin gets his name called out by Keenie, Keenie herself only has her name listed in the credits.
- Some theorize that Collin could get back into Heaven, he's the nicest of the cherubs and only goes along with the others schemes reluctantly, recognizes their actions as wrong and in the interrogation scene he has a light over his head resembling a halo while the rest of the group is in the dark, possibly foreshadowing how Collin will redeem himself and get back into Heaven, while Kennie, Cletus, and Agent One and Two will go to hell.
- The Cherubs are the first villains in “Helluva Boss” to hurt Loona during their second fight with I.M.P, due to their new suits making them strong enough to fight her. But Collin didn’t know what he was doing as he was only lucky to unintentionally shoot her.
