Infiltrating the Japanese government as Secretary of Defense "[[MoleInCharge Soichi Makage]]", Freeze alters the minds of the entire Japanese police to forget the word "Roidmude" and uses his position to obstruct any investigations that might uncover his kind's existence. When the [[Characters/KamenRiderDriveProtagonists Special Investigation Unit]] begins to unravel his conspiracy, Freeze appoints [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Mitsuhide Nira]] to oversee them and hinder their efforts. His identity exposed by Chase, Freeze lures Drive into defeating him and uses the humiliation from it to undergo a Super Evolution, easily nearly slaying Drive with his newfound powers. When Shinnosuke turns out to be barely alive, Freeze attempts to finish him off before he can recover. Only defeated when Drive unlocks Type Tridoron, Freeze nevertheless accomplished much for his kind before his demise and was invaluable to the Roidmude efforts to attain the "Promised Number".

* ''[[Series/KamenRiderDouble Double]]'': The mysterious bandaged woman known as "[[EvilMentor Shroud]]" starts off as a ruthless onlooker on the sidelines of the conflict between the Kamen Riders and Museum. "Shroud" is actually Fumine Sonozaki, the wife of Museum's head Ryubee, who seeks one thing alone: vengeance on her husband for scarring her face and using their child Raito as a tool. Shroud manipulates both the heroes and the villains with ruthless efficiency, arranging for the genesis of both the mass-murdering Weather Dopant and Kamen Rider Accel to use them both as pawns in her plan. While she's unfettered enough to coldly try and arranges the death of Ryu Terui--the man who became Accel--when he fails to meet her criterion as the weapon with which she will destroy Museum, Shroud retains enough humanity to regain the love for Raito buried beneath her persona and finally acknowledge that the heroes can stop Museum without succumbing to their own hatred.

Having absorbed the Femushinmu civilization in the past, Sagara comes to Earth after the Femushinmu Overlords prove lazy rulers to begin a new race for the Forbidden Fruit. Infiltrating Yggdrasill as the host of "Beat Rider Radio", Sagara uses the Inves Games to select candidates for his game, secretly giving the Beat Riders information and powerups to make sure things stay even. When the Overlords intervene to invade Earth, Sagara persuades the Overlord King to hold back and give humanity a chance. Later, when Mai Takatsukasa becomes the host for the Golden Fruit, Sagara tricks her into going back in time and letting his past self know everything he needs to do to bring about Helheim's chosen, making his plans go even more swimmingly. In the end, [[TheBadGuyWins Sagara gets exactly what he wanted]] with Kouta claiming the Forbidden Fruit and becoming the new Man of the Beginning of Helheim, moving Helheim to a different planet to begin the cycle anew.

As Lord Baron, Kaito assembles an army of Inves to claim the Forbidden Fruit and [[InTheirOwnImage remake the old world]] to one [[WellIntentionedExtremist where the weak are not oppressed by the strong]]. Defeated ultimately by Kouta, with his dying breath Kaito acknowledges Kouta as a truly worthy rival. Revived by Megahex, Kaito rebels against the being and joins Kouta in fighting it, encouraging Kouta to defend the future he fought hard for.

** [[AntiVillain Rihito Isshiki]]/[[DarkMessiah Kamen Rider Eden]], aka "S", sought to [[RestartTheWorld destroy and remake the world]] into a paradise using {{nanomachines}}. Losing his wife in the Daybreak Town Accident, S preserved her consciousness digitally and sought to create a virtual paradise for them both. Forming Thinknet, S has his followers spray people with nanomachines to assimilate them into his virtual world. While his followers believe they will ascend alongside S, the true purpose of Thinknet was to recruit malicious people so they could be weeded out from S's paradise, with the true "chosen ones" being the victims of Thinknet's attacks who are transported to S's utopia. Luring Aruto Hiden into fighting him, S steals his Zero-Two Driver and use its connection to Satellite Zea to help kickstart doomsday. Confronted by Aruto once more, S gives up on his plan after realizing that his desire was a selfish one and chooses to spend his final moments TogetherInDeath with his wife.
** [[DragonAscendant Bell]]/[[MookLieutenant Kamen Rider Abaddon]] is S's second-in-command who proved to be far more committed to Thinknet's goals than his leader. In the name of Thinknet's plan to create paradise, Bell led the effort to spray people with nanomachines and upload them into the virtual world. When S suddenly begins doomsday early, Bell immediately deduces that S had betrayed them and moves to intercept him. After waiting for Aruto to defeat S, Bell steals his Driver from him to become [[FinalBoss Kamen Rider Lucifer]] and fulfill S's [[RestartTheWorld original plan]]. In the end, Bell came exceedingly close to bringing about his paradise, being defeated [[NearVillainVictory only milliseconds before]] his vision was to be realized.

[[AC:Showa Series]]
* ''[[Series/KamenRiderStronger Stronger]]'': [[NobleDemon General Shadow]] is a cunning [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Majin]] warlord who more than earned his status as Stronger's top WorthyOpponent. Having joined Black Satan only so he can [[BloodKnight fight Stronger]], Shadow [[EvenEvilHasStandards doesn't care]] for the organization's underhanded tactics, even freeing children taken hostage by them. After Mr. Titan is revived, Shadow covertly sabotages several of his schemes to keep him from defeating Stronger. When the Great Leader brings in Dead Lion to replace him, Shadow deserts Black Satan and gives Stronger the information he needs to locate and destroy their HQ, seizing the remains of Black Satan for [[DragonAscendant his own]] Delza Army. As leader of Delza, Shadow keeps his subordinates focused in an EnemyCivilWar over who gets to defeat Stronger while he stays above the fray, manipulating Stronger into taking out his rivals for power. Finally displaced as leader by Marshal Machine after the loss of the Delza Majin First Team, Shadow aids Stronger in thwarting Machine's scheme to scorch all of Japan before being forced into a final confrontation with his fated rival. In his last stand, Shadow gives his own life to land a deadly mutual blow on Stronger, dying while leaving an injured Stronger at the mercy of his cohorts in Delza.

* ''[[Series/KamenRiderDouble Double]]'': The mysterious bandaged woman known as "[[EvilMentor Shroud]]" starts off as a ruthless onlooker on the sidelines of the conflict between the Kamen Riders and Museum. "Shroud" is actually Fumine Sonozaki, the wife of Museum's head Ryubee, who seeks one thing alone: vengeance on her husband for scarring her face and using their child Raito as a tool. Shroud manipulates both the heroes and the villains with ruthless efficiency, arranging for the genesis of both the mass-murdering Weather Dopant and Kamen Rider Accel to use them both as pawns in her plan. While she's unfettered enough to coldly try and arranges the death of Ryu Terui--the man who became Accel--when he fails to meet her criterion as the weapon with which she will destroy Museum, Shroud retains enough humanity to regain the love for Raito buried beneath her persona and finally acknowledge that the heroes can stop Museum without succumbing to their own hatred.
* ''[[Series/KamenRiderGaim Gaim]]'':
** [[TheDogWasTheMastermind DJ Sagara]], the [[GeniusLoci avatar]] of Helheim Forest, is the [[TheManBehindTheMan hidden mover]] behind the Helheim crisis who seeks to stoke change and evolution using Helheim's flora. Having absorbed the Femushinmu civilization in the past, Sagara comes to Earth after the Femushinmu Overlords prove lazy rulers to begin a new race for the Forbidden Fruit. Infiltrating Yggdrasill as the host of "Beat Rider Radio", Sagara uses the Inves Games to select candidates for his game, secretly giving the Beat Riders information and powerups to make sure things stay even. When the Overlords intervene to invade Earth, Sagara persuades the Overlord King to hold back and give humanity a chance. Later, when Mai Takatsukasa becomes the host for the Golden Fruit, Sagara tricks her into going back in time and letting his past self know everything he needs to do to bring about Helheim's chosen, making his plans go even more swimmingly. In the end, [[TheBadGuyWins Sagara gets exactly what he wanted]] with Kouta claiming the Forbidden Fruit and becoming the new Man of the Beginning of Helheim, moving Helheim to a different planet to begin the cycle anew.
** [[NominalHero Kaito Kumon]]/[[TheRival Kamen Rider Baron]], leader of Team Baron, proved both a key ally and WorthyOpponent to Kouta Kazuraba. Believing strength is everything, Kaito is ruthless in combating Team Gaim's lead in the Inves Games. Growing suspect of [[MegaCorp Yggdrasill]]'s conspiracy, Kaito [[EnemyMine joins forces]] with Kouta to uncover the truth. After learning of the Helheim invasion, Kaito joins Ryoma Sengoku's inner circle, obtaining a Genesis Driver in the process. When the Overlord Inves attack Zawame, Kaito quickly organizes the Armored Riders into a united defense, earning the loyalty of a disaffected Yoko Minato. Once the Overlords are destroyed, Kaito turns to seeking the Forbidden Fruit and becoming Helheim's champion, giving up his own humanity to become an Overlord. As Lord Baron, Kaito assembles an army of Inves to claim the Forbidden Fruit and [[InTheirOwnImage remake the old world]] to one [[WellIntentionedExtremist where the weak are not oppressed by the strong]]. Defeated ultimately by Kouta, with his dying breath Kaito acknowledges Kouta as a truly worthy rival. Revived by Megahex, Kaito rebels against the being and joins Kouta in fighting it, encouraging Kouta to defend the future he fought hard for.
* ''[[Series/KamenRiderDrive Drive]]'': [[TheManBehindTheMan 001 Freeze Roidmude]] is the shadow leader of the Roidmude uprising and the driving force behind much of their success. Infiltrating the Japanese government as Secretary of Defense "[[MoleInCharge Soichi Makage]]", Freeze alters the minds of the entire Japanese police to forget the word "Roidmude" and uses his position to obstruct any investigations that might uncover his kind's existence. When the Special Investigation Unit begins to unravel his conspiracy, Freeze appoints [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Mitsuhide Nira]] to oversee them and hinder their efforts. His identity exposed by Chase, Freeze lures Drive into defeating him and uses the humiliation from it to undergo a [[OneWingedAngel Super Evolution]], easily nearly slaying Drive with his newfound powers. When Shinnosuke turns out to be barely alive, Freeze attempts to finish him off before he can recover. Only defeated when Drive unlocks [[SuperMode Type Tridoron]], Freeze nevertheless accomplished much for his kind before his demise and was invaluable to the Roidmude efforts to attain the "Promised Number".
* ''[[Series/KamenRiderZiO Zio-O]]'':
** [[HammyHerald Woz]] is a prophet from the future seeking to ensure the rise of Oma Zi-O. Once TheCaptain of a [[LaResistance resistance]] cell, Woz infiltrated Oma Zi-O's forces while secretly defecting to his side for real, feeding the resistance faulty information in order to lure them into a trap. Traveling back in time to ensure Tsukuyomi and Geiz do not prevent Oma Zi-O's rise, Woz gives Sougo the Ziku Driver that allows him to become Kamen Rider Zi-O and assists him by providing him with data on various past Kamen Riders. When his AlternateSelf "White" Woz travels back in time to stop Sougo's rise, Woz [[EnemyMine temporarily allies]] with the Time Jackers and tricks White Woz into giving him his Rider powers. In the end, Woz was successful in bringing about Sougo's ascension as Oma Zi-O, and when Sougo chose to his new powers to [[ResetButtonEnding restore everything to normal]], Woz accepted his decision, forever loyal to his Demon King.
