Sometimes there doesn’t need to be one.
In my experience. You can hint, throw comments and other snippets to create a bigger back story.
How do they react? How do things affect the characters. Do certain things remind them? You can create an effective character purely on how does the character react to the world around them.
spite and malice have their place to be sure.
But its much more satisfying when one of the biggest problems for the protagonists is just normal people going about their lives

Santa Bob typically unleashes Krampus Bob on foolish Bobs bobsledding around this time. Survivors get gifts. -Other Bob
