Can anyone place the Templar's accent?

Eh?

Sounds to me like the main guy from Shadow Warrior 2 doing an english accent. Or a British man doing a stereotypical asian accent. Also, could be one of those Panda warriors from WoW as well. Who knows?

Key points:
the words 'far'and 'power' are pronounced like: 'fah' and 'powah'

I went to look it up, and discovered yet another Star Trek alumnus. That doesn't say anything about accents, but one of the Templar male voices is Dwight Schultz, aka Reg Barclay (and aka Howling Mad Murdoch in the original A-Team).

Kind of related: Elena Dragonuva, the first reaper you get, is voice acted by Marina Sirtis. Thought it was interesting three prominant actors from Star Trek: TNG were involved in the making of WotC.

Is most likely they have the same agent who was aproached about some voice work. I think alot of actors enjoy it becuase its pretty easy, lucrative and also allows you to work outside your comfort zone easy. Also the startrek crew are used to scifi which helps alot when delivering lines about tech lazers and mind control, they can do it with emotion and feeling.

Five. Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, Denise Crosby, John de Lancie. Dwight Schultz not so prominent, though. And isn't voicing a named character.

Five? Well, that's pretty cool. I only recognized Frakes, Lancie, and Sirtis' voices right away.

Yeah, kind of figured it had something to do with that. Couldn't have been a coincidence.

This kinda makes me sad because I want a proper Star Trek and not this trash CBS and Paramount have been making lol.

Well, Dorn and Crosby's voices are distorted.

Much as I enjoy this conversation (and I actually am enjoying this conversation) I need to ask again, becouse it's killing me: What accent is that?

So I listened to the voice myself just now. The accent remindes me of accents I heard in The Black Panther. IMDB also lists Imari Williams as a voice actor for a templar soldier and I doubt the only other male voice, Dwight Schultz, voiced it. Since Imari is American, the accent he portrayed likely isn't genuine, anyway.

to me it seems like the accent of an American person trying to impersonate an anime old guru teacher
