Make up backgrounds of the other people

Pat Quid is driving a semi across Australia. On the way he encounters various other travellers, and the occasional hitchhikers repeatedly as they're traveling the same road. A favorite pastime of Pat is to play games to pass the time on the journey. (Such as to make up backgrounds of the other people on the road.) Pamela is one hitchhiker he picks up. But when she disappears, he suspects that the driver of a van who has been acting a little strange, (Smith or Jones) maybe the serial killer mentioned on the radio. But his pursuit of the van driver brings him to the attention of the police, who begin to suspect him.

I'd like to know what "make up backgrounds of the other people" means.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Did you know that 'Mr' Micawber is actually a Zulu princess? She is a direct descendant of Shaka, King of the Zulus from 1840 to 1872. Her great grandfather, a grandson of Shaka, emigrated to Mongolia in 1923, because the Zulu royal family did not approve of his veganism. Soon after Mr Micawber was born in 1953, her family moved to Japan, where they became house servants in the American Embassy.

Did you know that Fivejedjon is the youngest of five brothers? Of course their names are Onejedjon, Twojedjon, Threejedjohn and Fourjedjon. They also have a little sister. Her name is Onejedjane.

My imagination fails me here -- I'll leave it to others to carry on.
