Hisoka comes to mind. Aoi Gengo, but his reasons are for the greater good & he doesn't have Furuta's air or flamboyant poses, but his machinations are spot-on, probably better then Furuta's. Although he just made the world his enemy in the recent chapter, completely prepared though, he has the upper hand.

Who else? Uhm... Gin from Bleach. Heathcliff (Kayaba) SAO. Madara Naruto. And these are all pretty famous animes.

But I won't argue there's clear distinction. Hisoka still comes closest of all i'd say. But these are all top-schemers who we're capable of staying behind the scenes for a long time.
