The Joker has a multiple choice past, but it's not like we don't know who he is. He's the Joker: the Monster pretty much is his character. We don't know much about the Rake, due to the fact that "canon" and all surrounding stories paints him out either to be an animal, an alien, an attack dog, or something simply too enigmatic to properly understand, just like the Slenderman. The fact the Rake's character has been told in so many different ways it's hard to firmly set his character to just one basis, it just can't work.

And as for the GDV, I think it's because Complete Monsters actually need to have a character beyond "they're just evil because we've run out of money and we need a filler threat with no character or motive.''
