    Commander creatures you own have menace and "This creature gets +X/+0, where X is the number of creature cards in your graveyard." (A creature with menace can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)

    You've never cared much for laws or authority, especially when they get in your way.

    If your Commander deck has two commanders, you can include only cards whose own color identities are also found in your commanders’ combined color identities.

    If you control a Background that grants an ability to commander creatures you own, and you own more than one commander creature, each of them will have that ability.

    Once the game begins, your two commanders are tracked separately. If you cast one, you won’t have to pay an additional 2 generic mana the first time you cast the other. A player loses the game after having been dealt 21 combat damage from any one of them, not from both of them combined (although your Background won’t usually be a creature anyway).
