I definitely agree with this, their backstories have been puzzling me for a while. Unfortunately, since quite a few of the Sternritter are currently dead/have ceased to breathe/are pushing up daisies/are ex-Sternritter, the only way I can think of to establish their backstories while maintaining the flow of the current storyline would be to have a chapter where some Sternritter or maybe Haschwalth reflects on their pasts, with each of the dead Sternritter getting maybe a page at most of backstory. As for the currently living Sternritter, they could always go the route of the Lloyd twins, but getting backstory as they die would probably get annoying after a while, and it only really worked in the case of the Lloyds because it was explaining their powers, and thus how Royd was imitating Yhwach.
