More like Cruella and Ursula are Maleficent's minions, that's the vibe I've been getting. Rumple hasn't appeared much. So I explained it to someone like this.

What they are going for: Rumple is a revered mob boss, a don, and joining forces with a mob gang, their boss Maleficent, the heavy (bodyguard) Ursula because of her physical strengths, and the moll Cruella, the showy, charismatic female companion. Regina is the mole, rat, snitch, etc.

What we see: Rumple is the mob boss, a don, leading a mob gang with the underboss (2nd in command) Maleficent, the heavy (bodyguard) Ursula, and the moll Cruella. But also, Ursula and Cruella are the goons or henchman of the higher-ups. This is why they seem like the henchmen of Rumple because they do all the grunt work instead of having henchman of their own. I didn't want Flots and Jets, or Horace and Jasp, or even Diablo, but they would help continue intensity and a numbers game. A mafia with a hidden don and three members seems a bit ridiculous. Makes since fairytale, magic power-wise, but not so much in the intimidation factor.
