Well, to start with they have different goals.

Satan likes corrupting sentient beings and tricking them into terrible bargains. The Infernal Pact is probably a LE Contract which your standard Warlock doesn't fully understand (at first).

Cthulhu likes eating souls, plain and simple. He gives out power to cultists almost as an afterthought; by preparing the way for him to bring about the End Times, his cultists happen to grab onto esoteric Elder God knowledge they can use for their own ends.

The Dark? Well, I don't have the FR book, but they are neither in Hell nor the Far Realms so that's a start. In 2E, "The Dark" could have been the source of the mysterious radiation that allowed the Drow to have their nifty toys - perhaps a Lavos-like entity that wants to ultimately breech the surface and consume the planet?

Yeah, let's go with "The Dark" as Lavos. If you haven't played Chrono Trigger by now, you should be ashamed with yourself.
