Generally in stories the characters, particularlly villains, who have overly detailed backgrounds are either used a some sort of character development moment for the main characters or used as parody by the narrative for how they can have such detail put into them but have no affect on anything.

In Gravity Falls there was much effort placed on background information and symbology, a recurring theme that occured was a set of symbols that kept appearing.having to do with stopping the main villain. In the last episode it is reveavl the symbols were part of a ceremony that could stop him once and for all. which each symbol actually secretly represented the main characters. So they gathered together, enacted the ceremony and the main villain just stomps in at the last moment and turns them to trophy's. This is a pay-off avertion. The hints and work put into that story point actually had no outcome on the plot whatsoever. The straight way to do this would be if it did work ofcourse. The Trevors both have much detail put into the things they go  out of there way to do. Yet they are both just extra villains. So with all that work I would assume either they will deeply resonate with the main characters in some way to bring on real character devolpment, or like the above example it will all be totally ignored. Like if Paul and Loyd both spend a good 5 mintues giving their background and trying to convey how evil and/or damaged they are and Michael just does something like shoot them in the face and say something about not asking for their life stories.
