I am guessing Rick somehow reads this wikia, or we are insanely good guessers. Because, many things I have read as theories on this wiki have actually come true. Like (spoilers from TBM) the third emperor of Triumvirate being Caligula or (double spoiler alert) Jason dying. I wouldn't have cared if he had died at the middle of the Hoo series. I think the reason Rick decides to kill Jason is for a little change. You cannot create a thousand characters and let them all live, and think it's a nice story. James Dashner did it. J.K.Rowling did it. Heck, Veronica Roth killed her main protagonist! Tragedy is required to make us understand that this is no cakewalk. And I think Jason's death even during the Hoo series would have caused not much damage. Even Magnus,, who doesn't even know him, puns him for passing out all the time. He is a powerful demigod, granted, but Gaea looked for PERCY particularly to shed his blood because she thought he was more useful, or better, or whatever.
