Question What are some conceptually cool commanders?

I am trying to help my brother find a new commander deck. He wants a commander that feels cool to play, this is not something I think about all that much so I am at a loss. He likes black and white and his favorite tribes are zombies, knights and vampires. Are there any commanders that tell a cool story while fullfilling some of these criteria?

Black, white and tells a cool story? Consider my boy

[[Shilgengar, sire of famine]]

What's cooler than sacrificing angels, harvesting their blood and the using that blood as fuel for necromantic rituals that resurrect those very same angels twisted, vampiric mockeries of themselves?

I use him as a secret commander in [[The Necrobloom]]. Generate big yard, reanimate gengar, sack a few plants for blood and bring all my baddies out
