He left Kernari pretty young so you think he'd just talk like his adoptive parents on Ferrix. But everyone on Ferrix has a British accent (well except Bix but idk maybe her family immigrated there later in her life).

(And yes I know the real reason is Diego Luna is Mexican, but I'm high an felt like being a pedantic nerd)

(And yes I know Fiona Shaw is Irish)

my friends are brothers like 2 years apart who came to the US at the same time. the older one has a faint accent, the younger one has none. point being its different for everyone if and when they lose their accent, seems entirely plausible to me that his character just never did.

True yeah.

My brother in law came to the US at around Andors age and he has non accent when speaking English, despite speaking Spanish fluently still.
