I think whatever that something is, it should also have a cost down the line to the players. Because obviously, when a devil shows up and offers you a deal, you tell him to cram it and stick him with the pointy end. (and when they kill the devil, he drops some sweet loot)
What if, by contract, the main Devil and their subordinates are forced to help the BBEG keep his throne to the best of their capacities, but if the BBEG gets killed in spite of their effort said Devils get the biggest payday?
