In the "Clash of the Kingslayers" Adventure, the first encounter is against a group of female dwarves mounted on hellish steeds known as "Doomguides." They show up throughout the adventure, but there doesn't seem to be much to them, except they show up to mess with the party and attack the city that is under siege by divine agents, but otherwise, we know little about them, except the following.
1. They are all dwarves
2. They are all female
3. They are orphans who swear fealty to the order
4. They are half-fiends with a modified template
5. They take souls and send them to hell
6. They have "mysterious infernal mistresses"
7. "They appear as harbingers of war, famine, and disease.
Any devils or other hellish leaders that these doomguides would follow? Does there exist any other information on them?

Nope. The only other mention of the Doomguides is in Classic Treasures Revisited, p. 37. It mentions that an adamantine horn of Valhalla is said to exist in the dwarven fortress of Glimmerhold that summons Doomguides into standard human berserkers.

Seems like dwarven lore is pretty spread out among older Pathfinder things, but we don't really know all that much about them, it seems.

I think it's safe to say that with CotK being a very early product, a result of a very early iteration of the RPG Superstar, Christina unfortunately quitting the industry shortly after it got published we can assume that this one goes into "ideas that never got anywhere" category.

Ah, what happened with that. "Clash" was a very unique product.
So, I guess its up to me to fill the details in for my campaign. I'm thinking perhaps they work for one of the whore queens? Which one would be best for them?
