Council of Disney Villains

The Council of Disney Villains, also called the Disney Villains Council or the Villains Council, are the main antagonists of the first Kingdom Hearts until Ansem is revealed to be the true antagonist. The council continue to make appearances later throughout the series. Maleficent is the leader of the council. The group works together mostly behind the scenes as a secret society of sorts. They seek the power that Kingdom Hearts can grant them, wishing to use it for universal domination. They once resided in their former headquarters, the Villains' Vale. In truth however, they are merely just pawns of Ansem, and through Ansem, they are pawns of Xehanort, unknowingly doing his bidding when they belive they are the true puppet masters.

Members
Currently Maleficent, Pete, Hades, and Captain Hook are the only members of the council.
