Dragomir Basarab

Dragomir Basarab – voivode of Debrecen

Clan: Tzimisce
Nature: Tyrant
Demeanor: Visionary
Apparent Age: 20

Dragomir appears very washed out, almost like an albino. His hair is white wheat-blond and his eyelashes are nearly invisible they are so pale. His green eyes almost flash, they are so startling in his pallid face. Dragomir often wears either pure white or solid black clothes, either makes him appear ever more ghostly. He prefers jewelry set with diamonds and pearls. He suffers raging mania one moment and brutal melancholia the next. His moods are as capricious.

Born into the Basarab reverent family, Dragomir was always a touch unstable. An overly sensitive child, he seemed shaken by every rockslide and each cutting of nearby trees. As he was quite intelligent and looked upon his grandfather with great affection, his small aberration was overlooked as a natural connection of a ruler to his ancestral lands.  Educated as a knight and a voivode, Dragomir served his father (an elder Tzimisce named Vintila Basarab) for several years. Finally, Vintila Embraced Dragomir and taught him the Tzimisce Disciplines. Once Embraced, however, Dragomir became ever more strange. His connection to the land led him down dark pathways toward madness. Vintila embraced the idea of metamorphosis as a regression to the profound abysses of bestiality, as an absolute negation of the human. The fief of Vintila, the desperate town of Debrecen is the result of his project of degradation. Vintila’s path eventually led him to lose his humanity and to deep torpor, and made Dragomir the new tyrant of Debrecen.
