Jund -1/-1 Commander!!

Right now I play a -1/-1 counter deck with Hapatra as my commander. It's really fun, but the problem is that Rakdos -1/-1 counter seems to be just as good-- if not better than Golgari -1/-1 counters. I want to add red to my deck for things like Soul-Scar Mage, Scorpion God, Consuming Fervor, Furystoke Giant, etc. Which commander would you recommend for me to use so I could combine Red, Green, and Black?
I thought about it before and honestly Prossh, Skyraider of Kher is a pretty cool option. Theres a ton of cards that require sacrificing creatures with -1/-1 counters on it or killing them, and he can do both.

Reyhan would be okay if I had more +1/+1 counter generation. Sek'kuar and Prosh are both really viable, cause that'd give me creatures to kill with my own -1/-1 counters. I personally want to play Hapatra and Scorp God as partners, cause that'd be badass.

Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and Vial Smasher the Fierce- This seems like it would be pretty good. Reyhan would give you some +1/+1 counters that you can place on your own stuff to get rid of the -1/-1 that inevitably gets on your stuff depending on how you built the deck. Vial Smasher is just a good card.
Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper- would be my second choice if you can take advantage of the tokens.
Xira Arien or Adun Oakenshield- these two are pretty much all purpose so they work I guess if you don't want the above suggestions.
If you have a consistent play group and they are willing to bend the rules you could maybe treat Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons and The Scorpion God as though they have partner. Only if you have a consistent play group though.
