23	[[folder:Comic Books]]
24	* ''ComicBook/SinCity'' has Manute who started out as Ava Lord's bodyguard, driver, and TheDragon.
25	** Also, even though Blue Eyes is a mook assassin herself, she often uses a lumbering mook named Gordo to do a lot of heavy lifting.
26	[[/folder]]
27
28	[[folder:Film]]
29	* ''Film/JamesBond''
30	** BigBad Film/{{Goldfinger}} had Pussy Galore for his personal Pilot and also as the instructor for his own personal airforce.
31	*** [[TheDragon Oddjob]] is his BattleButler and chaffeur.
32	** Scaramanga's assistant Nick Nack is his personal chef and waiter. His job is also keep him on the edge by hiring killers after him.
33	** Stromberg from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' had his personal helicopter pilot Naomi.
34	[[/folder]]
35
36	[[folder:Literature]]
37	* ''Literature/WorldWithoutEnd'''s prospective antagonists have their own, [[SinisterMinister Godwyn]] has a lick spittle, Philemon, who has no real uses other than another person to make hear Godwyn talk. [[FeudalOverlord Ralph]] has the more useful Alan Fernhill. Ralph seems to be the older version of Alan.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
41	* Both villains who served as TheDragon in ''Series/KagakuSentaiDynaman'' had their own MauveShirt who acted as their personal assistant. [[TheEvilPrince Megiddo]] had [[BumblingHenchmenDuo Gira and Geel]], who aided him in most of his schemes, and [[DarkActionGirl Zenobia]] had Bilgis, whose job was mainly to carry Zenobia's staff for her.
42	[[/folder]]
43
44	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
45	* Wrestling/DaltonCastle has two Vegas style twin show boys in peacock masks to attend hand and foot to his every need. Well, he has several of them in Wrestling/RingOfHonor, but usually only relies on two, who helped him win the World Six Man TagTeam Championship belts. The rest are just {{red shirt}}s called for when more bodies are needed for menial tasks.[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Video Games]]
48	* ''VideoGame/ScarfaceTheWorldIsYours'' has lackeys that range from highly intelligent {{NPC}}s to ones the player can control. Calling for a boat or a car will gain a driver that will follow and kill for you. There are also the Assassin, Driver (note the capital) and Enforcer. All have differing tasks...if you choose. All can assist Tony (the player) in multiple ways, such as slaughtering bothersome gangs or making cash. Oddly, the last three can kill regular citizens, unlike Tony. Many of the NPC mooks, like most citizens of Miami, have unique dialogue with Tony, this giving character development.
49	* ''VideoGame/EvilGenius'' gave the player character a colorful personal bodyguard once they reached certain levels of Notoriety.
50	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Cataclysm'' gives us the Lumbering Oaf, which serves Helix Gearbreaker, acting as a guardian and mount for the evil little goblin. The Oaf must be defeated as phase one of the Gearbreaker boss fight, and even has his own special move where he throws a fully voice-acted tantrum (which is odd for unnamed enemies) and slams a player into the wall.
51	* ''VideoGame/TheGodfather 2'' allows you to recruit these for your own BadassCrew. They have special skills that will come in handy above and beyond their superior stats to the standard Corleone mook/redshirt.
52	* [[BigBad Adrian Ripburger]] in ''Videogame/FullThrottle'' has two henchmen, Bolus and Nestor, who act as his bodyguard and his driver, respectively.
53	[[/folder]]
54
55	[[folder:Web Original]]
56	* In ''WebAnimation/SunsetParadise'', the Goonies are [[BigBad Sir Benedict Cumbersnatch]][='s=] [[TheDragon principal enforcers]]: because he's been reduced to a living egg, he needs them to do the dirty work and even to transport him. The personal one is a blue Goonie who carries a monitor and corrects [[GoldfishPoopGang the Spud Buds]] for Benedict in the pilot, then transports him since the episode 6.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:Western Animation]]
60	* We have Hammerhead's unnamed Chaffeur(ess?) in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan.'' Hammerhead himself starts out as a Dragon-flavor of this to [[BigBad Tombstone]], seeming to exist solely to relay the boss's orders to the mob so he could maintain his front as a VillainWithGoodPublicity. [[spoiler: After Tombstone starts questioning his competence, however, Hammerhead becomes TheStarscream and, ultimately, the Green Goblin's UnwittingPawn]].
61	* Lex Luthor of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' had his valet Mercy.
62	* [[BattleButler Owen Burnett]] is [[MagnificentBastard David Xanatos's]] general assistant on ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. [[spoiler: This is because Owen is actually the fairy Puck, who first approached Xanatos in this guise and offered him a wish. Xanatos, recognizing the competence and usefulness of the Owen persona, wished for a lifetime of faithful service from him]].
63	** He was impressed enough that [[spoiler: he never tried to pull any of his usual tricks on Xanatos]].
