[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid Morgana]]: Being the younger sister of a really efficient client of the Friends may hamper your success rate and moral confidence to absolute zero. Like Ursula, Morgana plots to seize control of Atlantica by using magic spells that she obtained from the friends in exchange for the souls of all the sea creatures in the kingdom when she would take over. Unlike Ursula however, Morgana has less confidence and gets jealous whenever someone mentions that Ursula could do a task far better than her. Although the Friends had high hopes with repeating Ursula's success with Morgana, she failed to keep the trident and ended up frozen in a block of ice where the Friends harvested her soul immediately afterwards.

[[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]]: An ultimate evil power emerging from Russian folklore, Chernabog is ''the'' Friend, the true, UltimateEvil of a BigBad. Determined to destroy everything good and wonderful about the Disney Universe. He dreams of the day he can escape the Other Side and rule everything - including worlds far beyond the Disney canon. His origins are shrouded in mystery. He may be a rogue God, a JerkassGenie, the devil himself, or even a minor demon who killed the original Satan and took his throne as in [[WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies Hells Bells]]. But the only thing that's for sure is that all evil in Disney answers only to him.

[[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} J. Worthington Foulfellow and Gideon]]: Two small-time criminals from the [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood Animal Kingdom]] who were chased out for their crimes, they entered into an informal arrangement with the Friends upon their arrival in Pinocchio's world. They collect wayward and vulnerable souls and deliver them to the Friends, and the Friends keep them rich and happy. The Friends try to lure them into a formal deal and collect their souls occasionally, but Honest John's too wily to land on the Friends' payroll. They do, however, work with the Coachman on occasion after their first successful deal - mostly out of intimidation. This explains why they were able to know about Pleasure Island, as most people turn a blind eye upon it - but not those who've beenallied with the Friends.

[[WesternAnimation/RobinHood Prince John and Sir Hiss]]: A greedy prince gaining the throne would be good news for the Friends. Unfortunately, they quickly discovered Prince John's incompetence, and realized he was a poor choice for a client. So they turned to Prince John’s right hand man, Sir Hiss. They gave him his hypnotism powers in exchange for continuing to serve under the idiotic Prince John, where he helped send King Richard away. He was clever enough, but could never get John and the Sheriff to listen to him. After Sir Hiss was arrested, the Friends figured he’d given them enough despairing souls to warrant further help, bailed him out and sent him from the Animal Kingdom to Disney World Prime where he found out that he had a long-lost cousin named [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Kaa]] who also made a similar deal with the Friends.

* Percival [=McLeach=] was revived and used as a way to bring chaos in the universe, as the Friends assigned him to capture animals in some worlds and release them in others. Iago was that way taken from the Donald Duck world, and sold as a pet in the Aladdin world. Pumbaa's cameo in Tangled or Kaa's one in Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers are also explainable by that.

[[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Ratigan]]: An animatronic version of the Queen is a bit advanced for Victorian Era London... The Friends gave Ratigan the plans for the robot (since they couldn't give him magic) and pointed out someone he could kidnap to build it without drawing too much attention to himself. His advanced gifts are why Basil failed to catch him for so long, not to mention his status as a DiabolicalMastermind. His many sucessful capers helped the friends fund several mercenaries on their team, but Ratigan's plans for the queen would have granted them a steady stream of mouse souls. His extended work with the Friends also twisted his mind so much though, that whenever he became enraged he would revert to his more bestial nature, explaining his transformation at the end. Unfortunately, when Ratigan fell off Big Ben that night, the Friends knew he would never be quite the client they could hope for, and they finally got to collect his soul. That is until the events of House of Mouse where he was revealed to be still alive, as Jafar decided he needed another pet, taking on Ratigan to help plan both for the Inner Circle and for himself...

[[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hades]]: A ally or possible [[TheStarscream rival]] to Chernabog, since partially, Hades is the big devil's son on Cronus' half. [[ChaoticEvil Hades is among the most mysterious forces of evil in the Disney Canon - and that's exactly how he likes it.]] He shows up at the Inner Circle when he pleases, since technically, he's an Arch-Demon. However, despite his freelance role within the circle, nobody questions his importance. As ruler of the Underworld, he watches over souls after they've been collected before Frollo pronounces Judgement on them, and thus has a role of Jailer towards all the souls collected by the friends before their usefulness is determined. (and as a side note, the underworld is not the only place for souls to go. Souls the High Council have claimed ascend to Olympus rather than fall to the underworld)

[[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Frollo]]: Indirectly manipulated through his HolierThanThou attitude. The DisneyAcidSequence during "Hellfire"? Those were the Friends, pretending to be judging Frollo for his lust. In fact, they were hoping he would go on the destructive route he later went on, killing people left and right giving fresh soul-fodder for the Friends. Plus, once he died, they had a new soul. That gargoyle at the end was no hallucination, but rather Chernabog collecting what was his due. That said, the Friends weren't responsible for making him evil, he was that all on his own. The Friends just gave him a small push in the ‘right’ direction. His brother, in fact, is really the thief ringmaster, Sarousch. In the end, though, Chernabog realiized how much darkness was in Frollo's heart and decided to fully lure the judge to his side, which explains his allegiance to the villains in Fantasmic. Nowadays, Frollo serves as the Friends' morality judge, deciding whether certain clients go to Tartarus when they die or to serve the Inner Circle in minor positions.

[[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Sarousch]]: This wicked circus ringmaster who plotted to steal the bells of Notre Dame was really Claude Frollo's brother, Jehan. Claude never liked to talk about Sarousch/Jehan due to his wily and cunning nature which went badly against his [[HolierThanThou overly rightous nature]]. Of course, Sarousch never liked Claude either. So when Frollo died, Chernabog approached the ringmaster and told him that he could avenge his brother's death and be the richest man in Paris if he stole the Bells and got Quasi out of the way. Madeliene, his trapeze girl, didn't like her part in the plan and eventually rebelled and pulled a HeelFaceTurn. And Sarousch, a.k.a Jehan, was arrested.

Nazis: The High Council [[Franchise/IndianaJones hated these guys]]. It was stumbling into some unknown agent of the Friends that helped fuel [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler the Fuehrer's]] fascination with the supernatural during the rise of the Third Reich. But in the end, they fell from the efforts of the Allies and the handful of High Council agents who took part in their fight, with particular honors to DonaldDuck, who served on several dangerous commando raids, where he first developed his rivalry with [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Daffy Duck]].

Ajax the Gorilla: It is a known given fact that gorillas are peaceful creatures associated with the High Council. But there was one gorilla known as Ajax, who was monstrous, violent, bloodthirsty, and villanous from the very start. He was associated with the Friends, and once battled against DonaldDuck. The duck managed to defeat the agent, and there was much sobbing in the end.

[[WesternAnimation/{{Frozen}} Marshmallow]]: Taking advantage of Queen Elsa's emotional turmoil, the Friends influenced the creation of her Snowlem bodyguard by making him much more determined and monstrous than originally intended. It was only when their plan ultimately failed that the Friends relinquished Marshmallow and left him to his own devices.

[[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland The Cheshire Cat]]: This one may seem like a stretch, but a lot of official merchandise lists him as a villain. Since Wonderland is already filled with some [[ChaoticNeutral pretty chaotic characters]], they just need a little push in the right direction. The Cat is an agent of the Friends who generally manipulates unsuspecting souls like Alice to get them in trouble, or generally lead them down the path of evil. He interferes with several trials The Queen of Hearts puts on. If the defendant is evil, the Friends get another soul; if they're good, there's one less good soul to interfere with the Friends' ultimate agenda. But in reality, [[ReverseMole the Cheshire Cat is really working for The High Council]] and only uses his Friends status to spy on the Queen of Hearts.

[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1 Ursula]]: Facilier and Ursula have similar [=MOs=], to lure innocents in with promises of a better life. Ursula had paid off her debt and by the time of the movie was using the souls to gain power for herself rather than give to the Friends, hence why her "garden" reverts back to normal instead of everyone going to Hell. She planned to give all those souls to the Friends once she had obtained Triton's power, which is why the they allowed her to withold them. Upon her death at the hands of Prince Eric's sunken ship, she joined the Inner Circle due to her skill at obtaining souls. Her sister, Morgana, [[TheUnfavorite on the other hand...]]
