Actually, there are some characters that have had very little development and yet we still have very good characterizations. Think about the people we've had very little background info about.. .say... Gouda.
He's now portrayed by fandom as a bit of a buffoon, a coward, and incompetent except in areas of cuisine. And as far as I've seen this is exactly the characterization from in the game that we all somehow picked up on. (Not to mention we all remember his name.)
Contrast this with say... Quigon Jinn.. what was he like, if you even remember his name?
How about the small cameo Christopher Walken had in Pulp Fiction, where he carefully explained for about 5 mins where he kept one of the character's father's antique pocket watch? I don't remember the name, but I remember that character. There was no development there what-so-ever and he disappeared off screen and never returned...
