The word biographical comes from biography, which is the story of somebody's life, or a part of their life. If it was autobiographical it would mean that the person had written about themselves and their own life, but in this instance someone else has done the writing.
An incident is something that has occurred, and that usually has repercussions, so a biographical incident is something that has happened in a person's life that has been written down and recorded by somebody else.
Biographies are sometimes written with the express approval of the person that they are about, and so are validated by inside knowledge and snippets of information that perhaps would never be known otherwise. On the other hand, an 'official' biography can also mean that the person that they are about can make sure that there is nothing in there that they do not want other people to know about.
Naturally, this would be true if the person had written the account of their life themselves and it was an autobiography, and of course it is right that they can choose what they want to remain private.
Unofficial biographies, whether the person who is being written about is still alive, or whether it is about an historical figure, require far more research to make sure that the facts in them are correct, and that any incidents are recorded properly. If the person is still alive, extra care needs to take to make sure that nothing libelous is written.
Biographies can often be very enlightening and a fascinating insight into the life of a person, and many people are drawn to reading about people they admire or are interested in, and of course, if there is an incident or two, they become all the more fascinating.
