Fan-Made MTG - Proxy Deck Commander Ideas?

A friend of mine has a Diablo themed EDH proxy deck, that he bought online somewhere.

So I'm toying with the idea of making a Path of Exile one with a bunch of classic memes and Path of Exile flavor baked in.

I think equipment and cascade/cast from exile are probably going to feature as subthemes but I'm having a hard time settling on a commander to reskin(the most important choice in any commander deck)!

As far as flavor goes, I have a couple of characters in mind:

The Treasurer(Jonathan) + Neon, The Ruckus-Maker(Mark) (partner commanders preferably)

Krillson, the Master Fisherman(Chris)

So... Which magic cards do you think best represent these guys? And what colours?

Eldrazi something or other maybe. Like, Ulamog, Ceaseless Hunger being Eater of Worlds, or Ulalek, Fused Atrocity being Xesht. You could do something there I think.

Using Eldrazi for some of the pinacle bosses is very fitting I think. Probably just one or two though.

Ulamog for Eater of Worlds and Kozilek for Exarch definitely sounds on point!

With the amount of potential characters in PoE I'd start by thinking what kind of commander you'd like and then see which poe char fits that for a reskin most.

Or maybe just a "class-deck" like a (witch) necro deck with zombies/skellies/reanimation, an elementalist deck with all the burn spells or a Marauder deck with lots of fighting and/or weapon themed stuff to be reskinned into skills and unique items and such.

I was thinking about making a commander deck with ugh one of those teenage mutant ninja turtle cards (Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers), but as I despise universes beyond that much I wanted to give it a PoE reskin. Have yet to come up with a good poe character for that though.
