The '''Cherubim''' (sg. ''cherub'', pl. ''cherubim'' or ''cherubs'') are a unique form of construct created by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] for the [[Imperium]]. In appearance they are small angelic children, with the intentional effect of symbolizing purity. Although cherubim are specially-built for many purposes, some [[psyker|psychic]] [[Inquisitor]]s utilize them as [[familiar]]s.{{Fn|1}}
Vat-grown and enhanced with [[bionic]]s and anti-grav technology, they often swoop and chatter about the sepulchers and cathedrals of the [[Ecclesiarchy]] and act as sycophants to [[priest]]s, [[cardinal]]s and Inquisitors across the Imperium, babbling fanatical rhetorics in their high-pitched, querulous voices.{{Fn|5}} Cherubim are a common sight in the upper ranks of the Imperium’sAdepta.{{Fn|12}}
