Vintila Basarab was a seventh generation Tzimisce and the sire of Dragomir Basarab. As patriarch of the Basarabs, he was the mortal great great grandfather of Dragomir, and eventually chose to Embrace him. Vintila attempted to cure his childe from his corruption and madness on Kupala's Night. The ritual failed and left him drained, causing the deranged Dragomir to attack and diablerize him.
