I think Demenion and Baal would both qualify as "bad guys".
I basically agree that while it would be great to have both good gameplay AND a good plot, the thinness of the plot in the KB games never really bothered me too much. Essentially, I consider KB to be a strategy game with RPG elements, rather than a pure RPG in the traditional sense, and strategy games tend to be pretty light in terms of plot anyway. I think it also has to do with the light, not-too-serious style of KB in general; in a game full of puns and intentional silliness, I wasn't really expecting particularly deep characters or thought-provoking plot developments. While it's possible that the developers simply didn't care enough about the plot to put much effort into it, I think one could also argue that its lightness may have been at least partially a conscious stylistic choice.
