That darn accent

So about Aatrox' accent, I know half the boards is raving about this right now but I wanted to know a little more about the accent and the communities thoughts behind it.

I saw a Rioter saying they wanted something harder to place, and ancient sounding, which I can get, but I had some ideas bubbling around.

Firstly, if Aatrox has such a strong accent, wouldn't the other Darkins have similar voices? Or do the Darkin have different dialects and accents the same way humans do, primarily based on location / environment.

Additionally, all the Darkin are within the body of a host, does the voice of their host influence it? I had thought the accent was around because Aatrox was in the body of a Freljordian, thus explaining the kinda scandinaviany europeany type voice (kinda similar to Braum, but with the darkin twist and all)

Lastly I wanted to know which accent people most closely relate it to, I first thought it sounded kinda Russian but it sounds more German to me (anyone on the boards sound exactly like him and wanna tell us where you're from xd)

After thinking on it a while, it feels more Romanian. The rolling of the R's and the "Vee's" instead of "Wee". Like dracula.

Still very Freljord imo
