These seemingly simplistic robots are often mistaken for holy automatons, but are in actuality constructed shells to protect and empower the vulnerable, good-aligned quintessence—the substance that forms a petitioner’s body on the Outer Planes—that is installed within. A petitioner’s quintessence can be harmed and even destroyed similar to a mortal body’s flesh, but a petitioner can never be resurrected if it is “killed”; when this happens, the surrounding plane absorbs that essential energy. As such, cherubic squires hold their lives very dear and aren’t averse to fleeing in the face of superior odds unless spurred into action by more powerful celestials. When a cherubic squire is defeated and the angelic spark within dissolves, a useless metal husk is left behind to corrode and disintegrate. To the unknowing, cherubic squires are simple, if beautiful, machines with large ocular cameras that add to their seeming innocence; in war, this childlike guise quickly becomes a terrifying visage as the camera turns an angry red color. Cherubic squires are usually deployed to the field in hosts under the command of other angels or, in rare cases, alone or in pairs to facilitate surgical strikes. Whenever barachiuses march to battle, they surround themselves with masses of these creations, using them as part of the front line of their armies against the minions of evil—clearing a swath with blade and electricity—or piloting ships and celestial chariots across both the field of battle and the skies above.
