Be careful when showing a character's backstory, especially a tragic one.
A lot of people like to introduce a tragic backstory early on to make you connect with the character and sympathize with them, but mostly that doesn't work. You have to have people connect with the character beforehand. If you want people to react more to the backstory, introduce it later on when people have had time to get the know the character.
Magnus Burnsides is a good example. If we knew his backstory earlier, it would have fallen flat. How can we sympathize with someone we've never had the time to like? But since it was introduced when we've gotten to know Magnus, we were able to sympathize with him and the people in his backstory.
Just a writing tip I guess
