And it seems completely unlikely that a weak mortal like Lester would be able to survive being around Caligula but Jason, the giant killer, the titan fighter, the former praetor of Camp Jupiter, would not.

And poor Thalia and Reyna... Why Lester survived while Jason died? I feel it's because the titular character is never killed in Rick's books. Like in Percy Jackson series, Percy himself never died. In heroes of Olympus, Leo, one of the seven, was brought back. And in TOA, Apollo is the titular character. He or Meg would never be killed. I mean, this isn't Divergent 😁. But Jason's days as a protagonist are over. Now he is a background character whose death won't affect the series at large. I guess Percy too could be killed but hey, to both Rick and us, Percy is the Very First character we meet, so obviously he won't be killed because irl, people would go literally mad and maybe even stampede Rick's house or something. And we didn't get to know Jason the way we got to know Percy, so it doesn't matter either way. Apollo can't die, because he is a main character of the series like you said. Also, Caligula wasn't intent to kill him, but on the other hand, he was intent to kill Jason really and actually, so...yeah.

If Riordan kill Percy somehow, i would be really really and really surprised. Percy is generally fans's favorite character, so, he can't die.
