Yes. I do everything I can as a DM to work in certain aspects of a character's backstory, even if it involves changing a few things from what I had previously planned. YMMV, but I have found that it engages the player a bit more, especially when it comes out perhaps piece by piece over the...

Excellent. Thank you. And, yes, I will check out the Sage Advice Compendium.
