OK, so this one is gonna be very fun (in my opinion).

I am playing a Cleric 5 (Disciple of Orcus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric/archetypes/frog-god-games/disciple-of-orcus-cleric-archetype/)), Zealot of Orcus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-prestige-classes/frog-god-games/zealot-of-orcus-prestige-class/) 3, and Dread Necromancer (https://dndtools.net/classes/dread-necromancer/) 1.

Clearly i am a worshipper of Orcus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/cleric/gods-3rd-party-publishers/gods-frog-god-games/orcus/)

Im also using Vile Leadership (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/vile-leadership/)

My GM is allowing the use of any necromancer related compatible material, even Undead Leadership (https://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/feat/Undead_Leadership) granted by Zealot of Orcus.

Now here is the task.

Im going to have an undead cohort:

1. Blood Orc (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/humanoids/orcs/orc-blood/)

2. Bloody Skeleton (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/skeleton/)

3. Awaken Undead (http://dnd.arkalseif.info/spells/libris-mortis-the-book-of-undead--71/awaken-undead--1468/index.html) spell

4. Evolved Undead (https://www.realmshelps.net/monsters/templates/evolvedundead.shtml) template

5. Vorpal Knight (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/d20pfsrd-com-publishing/vorpal-knight/) class (level 7)

Now i wanna make him super powerful, he starts with 5 aspects; 2 Any combination of 3 (Ex) abilities and (Su) abilities, and any 2 other natural abilities such as specified speeds or natural armor, DR, specified immunites, etc (detailed in the Vorpal Knight class).

I believe you can pick any abilities from creatures with 10 HD or less (unsure). But i know that includes class abilities, and racial abilities of the (Ex) or (Su) type.

Basically everything is open, feats, class abilities, and skills. However, i am making him keep the greataxe and power attack.

Thanks in advance for any/all help provided.

Edit: Should i use the Goliath (http://dnd.arkalseif.info/races/races-of-stone--82/goliath--13/index.html) race instead for Powerful Build, or is the blood orcs frenzy better?

I think you might get more responses in the 3.5 forum for this; this is an optimization thing, not a homebrew thing.

What is it you want him to do? Big beatstick sounds like your goal, but I want to be sure. ARe you looking for class advice? For buff spells or magic items? For additional ways to bolster him?

Don't forget spellstitching, from Complete Arcane.
