I've been drawing some shitty cyruses...? cyrusi...? Cyrus.
Most evil scientist in Pokemon? (BEFORE character development for Colress and Xerosic.)
Xerosic
Colress
Spinel
Faba
Zr. Zed
Charon
Other (tell me who)
It also doesn't have to be just the game portrayals btw. Referencing the anime or manga versions is fine too. (Like Faba trying to re-traumatize Lillie in the SM anime or being an actual nasty incel responsible for Lusamine's fall in Adventures, or iirc, Charon sending a suicide bomber and attempting to blow up a stadium/town in the DPA manga.)
(if you haven't seen "Secrets of the Jungle, btw, Zed killed his two coworkers by running their car off the road, and then leaving them to perish in the resulting explosion)

Charon: Excuse me-
Flint, kicking the door down: I said I have your fucking address!
Charon: *screaming*
Volkner: Okay I knew he was gonna be quick but even I'm suprised at this
Filing this one under a bit of a stretch theory, given some conclusions I’ve drawn, but I do think the commanders are partially inspired by the creation trio. Perhaps not to this exact extent, but still some fun food for thought.
Above is a few things that I believe connects the commanders designs to the pokemon respectively. Worth noting is Palkia’s top ridge goes down to the back of its neck like Mars’s hair, for space reasons its not shown. Charon is a bit more of a stretch, and Jupiter’s bottom bun could be tacked on to be Dialga’s neck ridges, which I feel unlikely. Liberties were probably taken with the hair designs if anything, but just fun to note.
To get into my theory proper:
Cyrus isn’t exactly Arceus in terms of design, if anything he’s more like a human Azelf, but for the concept of being god I believe he can suffice here.
Mars and Jupiter are Dialga and Palkia. They are the closest to their boss, both literally and metaphorically, the most devout. One could measure this devotion to the fact both Dialga and Palkia’s origin forms partially mimic their creator. They are often seen together, just like Dialga and Palkia are in old paintings and in the games. In fact, they follow Cyrus to Spear Pillar to guard him while he summons the deities. Yet they also reflect a bit of rivalry that Dialga/Palkia are often depicted as having. Still, they work together to keep the universal vision in tact, be it from Arceus or Cyrus’s vision.
Saturn and Charon are a bit more interesting. They measure up more with Giratina. They notably have a bit more distance from Cyrus, seeing through him sooner compared to the other two commanders. This distance is also reflected in the fact that neither visit Spear Pillar to help with summoning. Despite this, they are still entrusted with power over creating the red chain, with Giratina’s entrusted power being over antimatter. They reflect two stages in Giratina’s life, a stage where it was pursuing revenge and evil, and a stage where it decided to use its power for good. Charon is the evil part, deciding to use the remains of Galactic to extort money. The Giratina shunned by the world and said to be locked away in the Distortion World, because he is actively pushed away by the commanders and eventually arrested. Saturn is the reformed Giratina, trying to use the remains of Galactic for good and making it into an honest company. He’s done bad in the past, but seeks to rectify it much like Giratina after Volo is defeated. Both have committed a ‘betrayal’ to Cyrus’s vision of Galactic by using it for their own personal wants.
