Zarta Dralneen, if memory serves, is evil. And if she wasn't, she certainly seems to be heading that way. No one knows what anyone on the Decemvirate's alignment is, and some could very well be evil.
Torch may have been evil, but he's probably under a misdirection spell pointing to a table which is under a misdirection spell pointing to a half orc who is under a misdirection spell pointing back to the table.

I can't remember his name, but I believe the NPC expert that you have to escort in First Steps part III was evil.
True - I don't remember his name, either, but I remember he was evil. The Paracountess has always been LE. I believe that's listed in one of the books (Field Guide?), though she was never officially a Pathfinder, just an ally.
There are also quite a few "almost evil" PCs out there. I tend to lean good with my PCs, but I have one I describe as "neutral evil waiting to happen".

To clarify, I'm specifically looking for actual members of the Society. Zarta and Torch would be allies of the Society but are not de facto members.
The reason I'm asking is that in a scenario, a Pathfinder agent had a CE alignment and one of the players automatically assumed that they were a false Pathfinder and I had to remind them the Society is a neutral organization and has members of all alignments. This led me to wonder who the actual evil Pathfinder agents are.

Keep in mind that an organization's alignment is to some degree independent of its members' alignments.
If a group of paladins of Iomedae form a bridge club, that bridge club will still be N, despite the fact that it's members are all LG. The bridge club is just a group of people playing cards.
If some LE cleric of Abadar founds a charity that feeds the orphans of Absolom, that organization is G, even if it's founder created it as a tax shelter.
The Society's goals and pursuits are N. So it is possible that only a few agents are E, while most are N or even G.

Drandle Dreng is CE.
Everyone knows it.
Sorry, I personally think he is NE, Pure evil, not randomly evil.
How else can you not tell that the evil <redacted> which impersonated him, wasn't him?
And, indeed, <redacted> from Seasons 0 & 1 must have been evil.
I wouldn't put it past what's-his-name, Eando Cline or whatever it is, being evil. Have you ever read his Chronicle?

Well, in Inner Sea Magic, it says Eando Kline is CG.
Of the Society's associates (or ex-associates), I can only find Zarta Dralneen and Pasha Muhlia Al-Jakri who are evil.
Zarta is Lawful Evil, and has enough Hit Dice to detect as such. I always love throwing the Paladin for a curve: "Why, yes, you detect a strong presence of evil in the room... Oh, hey, it's your old consort, Zarta Dralneen!"
I actually once had a paladin in a game of First Steps 1 who cast Detect Evil on her. But as she is a bard, I had her cast Dispel Magic and lecture him about behaving according to his social station. ;P

In terms of Zarta and first steps Paladins. If she used misdirection at all it would be from a big enough devil to make impertinent Paladins keel over. But if one did challenge her it would be a case of "of course I detect evil. How long do you think I would remain Chellish Ambassador if I didnt. Those asmodean Inquisitors are sooo eager" Smiles mischeviously
And about five minutes later "remember Paladin, If anyone asks you can not deny being in my bedchamber within five minutes of meeting me" with an equally mischevious smile

I'm still waiting for a "Funeral of Drandle Drang" scenario. I still say the old coot is going to fake his own death some day, just so he can retire without a legion of Pathfinders hunting him down and killing him.
He's often killed by annoyed pathfinders, but just as quickly impersonated by a dopleganger trying to infiltrate the society. The dopleganger doesn't know why dreng went missing, and the pathfinders don't want to admit they've killed dreng. This has happened 37 times with a succession of doppelgangers. In fact the real dreng has been dead since AR 4009.
