Contest: Flavor text commanders <b>(Last Chance!)</b>
Have you ever read the flavor text on the cards in your collection, I mean really read it? You ever notice how they often have quotes from characters who have never had a card? I was wondering if you guys could make some commanders based on these cardless characters. Keep in mind that you should have a link a link that leads to the original flavor text. These commanders can be legendary creatures, enchantments, planeswalkers or lands. However, if it isn't a legendary creature, it has to say "this ___ can be your commander" somewhere on it.

With such little text to go on, I'd figured she has to be a type of necromancer, and I think I've almost nailed it, maybe.
If you steal it I will sue you!

@everyone Based on this, Fblthp is now banned from this contest. Unless of coursoe, @FblthpTheStormCrow wants to make him.
Vervamon was a character from "The Dark" that was a survivalist/lucky wizard who ended up being a martyr, at least that's what i can pull from flavor text X)

And Leonos, Azorius arbiter (I couldn't really find an azorius-like card so I picked this one, its out of the ordinary.
----------2nd Entry (If Allowed):
Leonos, Azorius Arbiter. Figured Azorius could have a Wolf Construct xD Doesn't really make sense, I know.

Couldn't really find an image to make a land commander (The Great Aerie mentioned in Dragons of Tarkir cards)

I think of The Champion as a spirit embodied by a valiant human soldier.
Ezrith is featured on a set of pretty bad but awesomely named removal cards: Premature Burial, Cradle To Grave, and Grave Peril which destroyed creatures in the past, present, and future, respectively.
