For me, I like to interview them. I have a series of loose questions that I like to have them answer. It helps me not only round out there backstory but get an idea how they will react to situations.

Some of the questions I use:

Something that embarrassed them when they where growing up?
How did they get along with your parents?

What do they want more then anything?
How far are they willing to go to get that?
