Hers was a Transylvanian accent, so I imagine Olaf's accent to be Transylvanian as well.

I think both of them learned it from the VFD as a "voice fakery disguise."

I never really gave the origin of the accent much though, but after looking at the thread, it might be German, but who knows, the origin of the name doesn't mean its where the person comes from. ""Example"" my name comes from the Hebrew language but I'm not Jewish, and I don't live anywhere near the Middle East (unless half way around the world is what you would classify as "near")

So I'm not sure, I don't think I have enough knowledge (of different languages) to place my theory in stone

Take a look at my Etsy :]

I also imagined an alternate accent with a whole lotta "Please"es thrown in. Like Penelope Taynt from the Amanda Show..... Amanda, Please!

I just considered Count Olaf speaking normally, only saying please occasionally for no good reason.
