Get to know someone better from their background check

It's well known that some of the most terrible and notorious criminals in history somehow managed to conceal their true character as well as their crimes from even their closest family and friends. How someone can do this is hard to believe but it's true. The unfortunate lesson that this teaches is that you can never take people at face value.
