Overall
The Cherubic Chorus of angels has been assigned the holy role of guardianship over all sentient life since The Fall. Heaven's most earnest Guardian Angel, just happens to also be its least competent. Tembel, at this point for thousands and thousands of years, has consistently had the lowest GAPE (Guardian Angel Personal Excellence) score for as long as it's been tracked. He's ranked lower than Killiel, and *he* once got an entire village killed trying to stop a cart of explosives from hitting his Charge. (She also died.)
But that has never dulled his enthusiasm for his job! Tembel is often chipper and ready to take on his next assignment. (He gets a LOT of new assignments.) He loves people, and he loves (the idea of) Guarding them. He may be a bit of a crybaby, but Tembel will do everything in his Holy power (which is a shocking amount given the level of incompetence he displays) to keep his Charge safe.
Said Holy power includes:
-Flight. Those wings aren't just for show! Sometimes he'll just flutter around instead of walking. It's adorable.
-Divine Intervention. Guardian Angel's primary method of Guarding. Something fall off a shelf and *just* miss your head? That's how they did it. (Technically, it's not really telekinesis, but you can think of it like that. He can move or stop stuff by willing it so.)
-Holy Sight. The eyes on his wings have divine sight, always keeping several eyes on his Charge, which in theory is supposed to help him Guard them. In theory.
-Angel Stuff. You know, Angel Stuff. Stuff Angels do. Think holy magic, yadda yadda. Whatever you think cool Angel Stuff could be for your comic that's not here, baby.
While the Cherubic Chorus are the second highest order of Angels, he's certainly not invincible and still has a body that's at least mostly comprised of meat. Guardian Angels aren't supposed to be seen, but Tembel never got the hang of the invisible trick.
