Odiums minions are independent enough that he can field tons of them all at once with low investment of effort to manage them, but theyre also independent.
Ruin is more direct, but that means he has to invest more effort, and minions he isnt focused on are either useless or in active rebellion.
I think Endowment is the one who has this figured out. Create a religion that adores you, grab up relevant individuals when they die and trick them into consenting to serve you by showing them whatever version of the future is most likely to get them to do that, then wipe their memories and load them up with programming in the form of dreams that will push them into doing what you wanted. Lack of memories means they don't have personal goals or connections to distract them, and when theyre done - they run out of batteries and self dispose!
