Profile

Origin

The cherubim, also known as the living creatures, are celestial beings mentioned in the Bible. After Adam and Eve are banished from Eden, God places cherubim at the east side of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24). Cherubim are also mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel, which describes their appearance in Chapter 1 and Chapter 10. Chapter 28 mentions a cherub that was in the Garden of Eden.

According to Pseudo-Dionysius's On the Celestial Hierarchy, cherubim are the second highest order of angels; this celestial hierarchy is accepted by the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Shin Megami Tensei II

In Shin Megami Tensei II, Cherubim are statues at the top of the Center's headquarters that guard the door to Eden. They will only allow Aleph to enter Eden if he is Law-aligned. If Aleph is not on the law route however, he must take Houri's robe, which disguises his true alignment and fools the Cherubim into letting him pass.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

A pair of Cherubim repeatedly block the Nahobino's path while exploring Shinjuku, preventing his progress, first needing to divert their attention by dispatching of a group of Power so that they leave their posts as reinforcements. Later, they block his way to a Magatsu Rail leading to West Shinjuku until Yuzuru Atsuta and Hayao Koshimizu defeat them. The Nahobino is forced to confront another pair in Shakan, however, when they guard the passage to the inner sanctum.
