Depiction in the series
Biff, Rogue, and Withers first appear in the season four episode Daring Don't. They are first seen invading Daring Do's forest home and fighting her for the Ring of Destiny. When Rainbow Dash accidentally distracts Daring Do, the henchponies overpower her, and Dr. Caballeron seizes the Ring of Destiny from her.
When Caballeron and the henchponies are later approached by Daring Do in disguise, they prepare to sell the Ring of Destiny to her for a large amount of bits, but Ahuizotl arrives and scares them off.
Biff, Rogue, and Withers also appear in the season six episode Stranger Than Fan Fiction alongside "Pickpocket". They capture Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants on multiple occasions, though the latter ensures their escape each time either by deceiving the crooks or setting off an ancient booby trap.
Other depictions

In My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #32, numerous generic-looking stallions appear as Dr. Caballeron's henchponies in his quest for Queen Parabola's treasure.
Chapter books
In the chapter book Daring Do and the Eternal Flower, Outlaw (implied to be Biff but unidentified), Rogue, and Withers appear again as Dr. Caballeron's henchponies. They ambush Daring Do at a dinner party hosted by the Equestrian Botanical Society, but she eventually overcomes them. Later, she meets Caballeron's fourth henchpony: a freelance adventurer Pegasus named Rosy Thorn.
Rosy Thorn briefly teams up with Daring Do to rescue Daring's uncle Gallant True from Ahuizotl. However, she is later revealed to be one of Ahuizotl's partners, and she betrays Daring in order to get her to lead them to the Eternal Flower.
Withers appears again in Daring Do and the Forbidden City of Clouds. He breaks into A. B. Ravenhoof's house in search of information about Cirrostrata, an invisible city in the sky.
