I tend to find it more interesting when a character releases little bits and pieces of their background over time rather than all at once. In many ways, this is pretty similar to how things work in the real world when meeting new people. You'll usually learn their name first, then a little bit about them such as their age and where they're from.

If you meet that person again then you might learn more about them such as their hobbies and occupation. This cycle tends to repeat itself and it's worth noting that even close friends and family members don't usually know the entirety of each other's background. Many will claim they do, but its exceptionally rare for it to actually be the case.
