I don't think there's enough evidence to claim inconsistencies in his accent are "more likely" to be him faking it, he could just have a mixed accent. I reworded a bit to make the text more in-world

'''Shob''' is one of [[Shallan]]'s men.{{book ref|sa3|27}}{{book ref|sa3|40}} He is constantly saying that he has come down with something, saying to Shallan that he is dying, and then later tells [[Shallan#Veil|Veil]] that he is coming down with something. He seems to exaggerate this, as he shows a so-called rash on his arm, when the arm is perfectly normal.{{book ref|sa3|27}}{{book ref|sa3|40}}
 
He speaks in what appears to be a Bav accent,{{ref|group=fn|text=His pattern of speech is similar to [[Took]]'s, and matches Tyn's imitation of a Bav accent.{{book ref|sa2|28}}}} though some sentences come out in a neutral alethi voice.{{book ref|sa3|40}}
He speaks in an accent reminiscent of our world's cockney, though some sentences come out in normal common/vorin. Specifically, he seems to say"Oi" in place of I, except after being questioned about "dem orphans,": his next sentence comes out without accent at all. It seems more likely that the accent is forced by the character than that this is a transcription error on the part of the author/editor. {{book ref|sa3|40}}
 
At some point in his life, Shob was in Sadeas' army on the [[Shattered Plains]], but eventually decided to desert the army.{{book ref|sa2|30}} Glurv joined a band of deserters in the [[Frostlands]] which were lead by [[Vathah]].{{book ref|sa2|20}} He was convinced to help defend [[Macob]]'s caravan by Brightness [[Shallan Davar]]. This group roamed around stealing mostly food from travelers "just trying to stay alive and forget." according to Vathah.}{{book ref|sa3|77}}
