They don't tell us anything directly about his character however, but they do provide clues. They are not evidence for the historical existence of Romeo and Juliet. Without writing we have no evidence whatsoever that Shakespeare ever existed.
Apart from legal documents, a will, a grave, some personal documents, lineage....
What is potentially in doubt is whether he wrote the plays or not since the only direct evidence for that is a few signatures. And unverifiable sources that say he did. Plenty of evidence that he did actually exist.
