[[WesternAnimation/Amphibia The Core]] :

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Merlock]]: He asked the friends for dark magic in exchange for the souls of those who would die in his worldly conquests. In return, Chernabog pointed Merlock towards the duck genie's lamp. The amulet was a present from the friends. When Merlock died, The Friends decided to let him have one last chance by killing Donald and Daisy, only to be killed again. He's kept around when there's a need for an EvilSorcerer the higher-ups are too busy for, just as long as said missions don't involve the ducks.

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Magica DeSpell]]: The usual dark magic deal: she gained her magic as well as her knowledge through several deals with the Friends. She hasn't had much luck getting Scrooge's Number One Dime, but with other people...

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales Flintheart Glomgold]]: He knows about the Friends, yet prefers to not make any deals with them, instead asking them about what artifacts can be found at the moment. He usually works with Magica De Spell and the Beagle Boys in his attempts to truly become the World's number ONE richest duck. During the Golden Goose fiasco, Flintheart was turned to gold, and subsequently almost lost his soul to the Friends. But he quickly talked his way out of it, and was freed to continue his future misdeeds.

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales The Beagle Boys]]: Ma Beagle and her boys know about the Friends, but refuse to make any deals with them. Instead, they prefer to work with Pete, Mortimer Mouse, and the Phantom Blot, committing crimes in several different worlds. The three beagle boys seen in ''WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers'' were the very first beagle boys EVER as they were granted immortality alongside the rest of Pete's gang. Currently, Ma's Beagle Boys have been sealed away in an alternate version of St. Canard alongside many other villains of Calisota.

[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Abis Mal]]: An incompetent villain who worked with Jafar briefly before the latter's demise. Once Jafar was inducted into the Inner Circle, he suggested to Chernabog that Abis Mal MAY have some competence despite his moronic nature. After all, who else has enough smarts to turn Jasmine, a prominent princess of heart, into her AxCrazy WhipItGood clone, Scourge of the Desert? The reason why Abis Mal is after so many ancient artifacts is because the Friends point him out towards them.

[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Evil Manta]]: King Triton didn't [[SealedEvilInACan seal this evil being]] in the darkest depths of the ocean for no reason. The Evil Manta is a high ranking agent who collects the souls of sea folk by spreading mistrust and lies through rumors of them being different. The resulting racial prejudice and wars following get him the souls he needs. Ariel has manged to defeat him on several occasion before Ursula made her big debut. After the deaths of Ursula and Morgana, Chernabog decided to send his best sea agent to take care Ariel and Melody once and for all....

[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid The Barking Sea Monster]]: During one of Ariel's pre-movie adventures, the mermaid discovered a strange barking noise that was eventually revealed to be a barking toy dog, drifted into the sea on accident. However, since Ariel didn't realize that until later, she thought it was a scary monster, and the Nightmare Shadows were right there to help fuel that fear ForTheEvulz. So, they created a monstrous sea serpent with a penchant for barking, and sent it into Ariel's dreams to scare her. It disappeared once Ariel discovered the true source of the barking, being only a Dream Eater Nightmare.

[[WesternAnimation/Amphibia King Andrias]]:

[[WesternAnimation/Amphibia The Core]]:

* While her original incarnation wasn't all thing considered an huge treath, her counterpart of the 2017 Ducktales alternate universe was another story. She and her brother Poe was some of the best agents of the Friends, terrorizing towns fpr fun and giving their souls to the friend when they get bored. However everything changed when a rich duck named Scrooge McDuck made her accidentally turn her brother into a Raven and refuaed to help. Magica swore revenge against him, and the Friends took this in stride since Scrooge has already proven to be a big obstacle to their plans. Unfortunately for them Magica got herself trapped into Scrooge's numer one dime, but she was able to turn her shadow into a young duxk named Lena. Her plan was to get Lena close to Scrooge, steal the dime and free herself during the full moon, when her powers are stronger, then use a spell to weak the barrier between the world and the Other Side to allow the Friends to manifest in Duckburg using people's shadows as vessel, Roma free and hel her to take her revenge. Unfortunately of her Lena grow a coscience and turn good, helping the heroes to defeat her and break her staff, stripping her of her powers. The Friends where tempted to collect her soul, but since she was still teh one that come closer to defeat Scrooge they decide to give her another chance, but only if she was able to regain her powers on her own. She succeded but at that point the Friends had already FOWL's plan set in motion and she hasn't gave an huge impression on her ability anyway, so for now they decide to just ignore her. With FOWL defeated however, who knows...

* Heron manipulates Bradford into using the Friends resources thet she secretly got thought her deals to create F.O.W.L, a powerful organizatiom hidden in shadows (not the same one that Darkwing Duck faces) and tries to convince his supposed boss to emerge his villanious side, but since he refuse she kept him oblivious. Bradford realize that the biggest treath to his goals was ScroogeMcDuck and he infltrate himself in his company, manipulating events and even killing a few peoples (most notably Scrooge's butler Duckworth, whose soul was clamed by the Friends until Black Art Beagle accidentally freed it) to broke and isolate him. His worst action was telling Scrooge's niece Della about a rocketship that Scrooge built, the Spear of Selene, knowing that she would take it and get stranded on the moon, destroying Scrooge's family (the Friends trick him into doing so also becouse they wanted to give Lunaris an opportunity to retry his invasion).

[[WesternAnimation/{{Cars}} The Lemons]]: The Friends finally made inroads into the peaceful world of Radiator Springs with these evil broken-down cars. Selecting Miles Axelrod (for his cunning and charm) and Professor Z (for his evil genius), they made them partners and set them on their way to bring pain and misery to this world and collecting the souls of the cars within. They were foiled, and the Friends aren't optimistic about finding truly effective minions on this fairly low-key world.

[[Film/TheHauntedMansion Ramsley]]: His sheer bigotry and hatred allowed the Enchantress to curse the Mansion. She told him that the curse would break if he reunited Master Edward with his lover. The Evers weren't the first victims, simply the latest in a long line that Ramsley fruitlessly hoped would break the curse. Once Ramsley's plan to break the curse by collecting all of the ghosts' souls failed, the Friends sent a powerful Arch-Demon, the fire snake, to collect his soul.

[[Film/InspectorGadget Sanford Scolex/Dr. Claw]]: The Friends were at some points able to access other world that were drawn in via unknown means and tap into them. Scolex was one of their agents in these types of worlds, designed to hopefully spread their influence throughout other multiverses. However, after his first confrontation with the newly-bionicised John Brown ended in failure, and a second attempt by Claw also failed, the Friends abandoned that particular realm.

[[Film/TheMuppets Tex Richman]]: Really, now, what are the odds that a boy would be born entirely without the ability to laugh or appreciate humor via ''natural'' causes? Young Tex's joylessness was the result of a curse by the Friends, who were trying to see if they could turn a living human being into an agent of pure evil. With a spirit of Greed whispering in his ear throughout his life, Richman went into the oil industry and climbed the ranks to become a Main/CorruptCorporateExecutive in the purest sense, living only to increase his wealth and spitefully rob the world of the "third greatest gift." Now the Friends could use him for any purpose to which obscene amounts of money could be put...such as purchasing the defunct Muppets Studios and all rights to the Muppets brand, in order to permanently close the curtain on their warm and innocent brand of humor and twist the public's tastes in favor of the "hard, cynical" Moopets. All it took to point him in the right direction was some forged geological survey documents...

[[Series/OnceUponATime Peter Pan/Malcolm]]: Once Upon A Time, a man named Malcolm decided to run away to neverland. (no, not [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan THAT Neverland]]) The friends were still doing scouting missions, so when Captain Hook discovered this new neverland, he immediately suspected that this Peter was another do gooder for the council. To EVERYONE'S surprise, they found this peter had little in the ways of altruistic qualities, and was more than willing to bargin with the friends if they would only grant him eternal life. Chernabog spent many hours consulting with the inner circle and finally [[PowerWithAPrice struck a bargin.]] They would allow Peter to live as long as their magic hourglass still ran, in which time he might deliver to them the souls of all children captured to his land, and the souls of any "hero" that might set foot on his shore. For hundreds of years, malcolm held up this bargin, but in time, he realized he needed another way to get in good graces with the friends. So he concocted an elaborate scheme to gain eternal life through the heart of the truest believer, gaining limitless power, and possibly even giving him a spot in the inner circle.

[[Series/OnceUponATime The Miller's Daughter/Cora/The Queen of Hearts]]: The friends contacted Cora after she broke ties with her Rumplestiltskin, promising to give her even more magical prowess than she'd had before. They walked with her for so long, even fermenting bitterness against Snow White's family in a ploy to destroy her kingdom (on grimhilde's request). They even gave her the power to take over Wonderland, asking only for a few souls that were beheaded in payment for the favors. They were also pleased when they found out she'd taken on a successor in her spare time: [[OnceUponATimeInWonderland Anastasia]]. (No, not [[WesternAnimation/Cinderella THAT]] Anastasia either). They were so delighted by their client (particularly her [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland counterpart]]) that they gave her free reign to pursue her own agenda however she wanted so long as she kept sending them souls. She quickly became their favorite client in the enchanted forest, until the evil queen cast the dark curse, and they temporarily lost contact with her. Upon making contact again, they gave her a new mandate: Kill Rumplestiltskin, re-corrupt your daughter and give us the hearts of the charming family. Cora carried out her task with glee, particularly since she'd lost her heart for empathy at the time. However, in the end, Snow White tricked her daughter into killing her, ending her plots for her multiverse. Unwilling to let such a juicy client go to waste though, the friends drained her essence out through the dark curse, recreating her to serve as a general of the armies. At least until they find Peter Pan again.

Mara: A corrupted Hindi god allied with the friends, Mara runs a soul collecting operation from the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, knowing that human foolishness would always send visitors to the Gates of Doom as a result from looking into the eyes. But the Friends of course are annoyed about [[Frnachise/IndianaJones the one that got away]].

[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Sid and Al:]] Sid has been on the Friends' radars for a while, due to his ForTheEvulz nature and his willingness to destroy toys (who, as noted in the High Council sub-section of the main page of this theory, are low-level agents of good). Though he didn't know about the Friends or the conflict at the time, the Friends planted ideas in his head about nasty things to do to toys and provided the equipment for the ideas he decided to pursue (for example, he got the rocket he'd planned to blow Buzz up with by ordering it from a company that was actually a front for the Friends).

[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 The Incinerator]]: The Magnet from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' caught the Friends' attention for its brutal disposal of the poor beings caught in its clutches. But its world wasn't very active, and the Friends felt it wasn't being put to good use. So they took it, upgraded it with the Friends' tech resources, and placed it on the WesternAnimation/ToyStory world. Linking it to the Other Side via a portal in the incinerator, it became the new go-between for the Friends and Lotso. And of course, it doesn't discriminate between former Sunnysiders and thrown out toys in general

** [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 Taurus Bulba]] This incarnation of Bulba is an amorale scientist instead of an hardened criminal. Bradford hires him to test the capabilities of the Solego Circui5, a device that can generate portals to other dimensions,wich he does by creating an invention known as the Ramrod. However Bulba found Bradford's plan short sighted and had greater visions for the Ramrod, wanting to use it to change the world, even if it means destroying and rebuilding it. After an explosion destroyed that bit of sanity he still had, Bulba decide to use the Ramrod to summon four supervillains from the Darkwing Duck TV Show universe (a slightly different one from the one we are more familiar with), planning to kill Darkwing to gain attention from the Friends so the would help him controlling the destructive capabilities of the Ramrod. His plans however eas foiled and the Friends abbandon him.

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 Bradford Buzard and F.O.W.L]]: Bradford is a very interesting case. Despite being one of the best agents of the Friends, not only he never really made a deal with them, but he never realize he was working for them in the first place. Bradford grew to hate adventures due to the traumatic experiences with his grandmother, Hight Council agent Isabella Fich, and became convinced that adventures are the source of chaos and instabilty in the world, swearing to get rid of them once and for all. The Friends realize soon that this mentalità would make him a really good agents, but he refuse to works with them, not seeing himself as a villain and instead joining S.H.U.S.H, an organizzation affiliated with the Hight Council. But as much as Bradford wants to claim otherwise he wasn't a good guy and when his ideas was shout down by S.H.U.S.H director Ludwing von Drake, the Friends manage to trick him into making a deal with one of their loyal agents, Black Heron.

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 Zeus]]: that is a sour spot for the Great council. This incarnation of Zeus despite still leading the great council on paper and having fought the titans, have none of the maturity and heroism of the main Zeus, instead being a vain impulsive and petty manchild who values his reputation more than the world. The gods intially tollerate him out of necessity but when Scrooge arriverà on Itackquack they realize that they doesn't needs him and even a mortal can be a better hero that Zeus, so they left him. Zeus enraged swear revenge on Scrooge and even makes a few deals with the Fried, asking for creatures like siren and some harpies. The gods get fed up with him even more especially after he goes as far as helpin Lunaris invasion by detaning two of his divine sons, and strip him from his power and position, trying to find a new king of the gods. Zeus resort to release a titan to try to became an hero once again, making the gods even madder. He still regain his powers, but is unlikely anyone would listen to him evener again, although the Council fears that he would beacame a full time Firends agent. (In turn this universe's Hades is a loyal agent of the gods.)

[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 General Lunaris]]: grewing envious and fearfoul of the Earth power, this inabintant of the moon was planning an invasion for year. However the Friends doesn't use to have much faith in this operation due to the paceful nature ofnthe moonlanders, but they still decide to give him some information on the Earths inabitants and defences, and even a few technologies. Unfortunately for Lunaris he wasn't able to build a working spaceship and thw Friends refuse to invest further in his plan, so he get stuck, until an earthling name Della got stuck on the Moon. Lunaris manipulate her into giving him teh plan of her spaceship. Seeing his cunning the Friends regain interest in him and, using Glomgold, Bradford and a minor demon known as the Bombie they manipulate tbe events to trick Louie into shuting down the defence satelitte (they had planned Glomgold to do so if he would had gain Scrooge company, but it still works in their favor) and use a few of their agents including Zeus to make sure teh Moonlanders got as few opposition as possible. Unfortunately for them that didn't work and Lunaris got trapped by the gods in his spaceship forever. However that still gave them enough motivation to their other agent, Bradford, to step in.
