Why would Ella pit Jake against the MC ?But why would Charlie try to kill the MC in this scenario? The MC didn't kill Oscar and he isn't with Hero. It was Michael and Hero are the ones who have his body. Ella telling Charlie that Oscar is alive and held captive by Hero is as big of a lie as saying the MC is her brother and being held captive by Hero. Nothing changes on that front. Ella could've said an innumerable amount of lies about this all. For all we know, none of them are her brother and we could just be grasping at straws.
Clearly she creates pawns and play the poison jar thing. She puts all her creations against each other to see which ones come on top to, presumably, add to her own power. Would she treat Charlie differently ? I doubt it. Even being interested in Jake and the MC's powers, she seems to have no qualms about risking their deaths. Why would Charlie be any different ?
She's not stupid, even if she tells Jake to kill the MC, it wouldn't surprise me that she doubts Jake's capabilities to do so. After all, he tried to avoid dirtying his hands at every turn, while she knows the MC killed multiple times when he had to. So far, the MC came up on top every single time. Could be she thinks it might also be the case with Half-assed-methods Jake. But would the MC kill a little girl, though ? He's still far too human tu just murder away at any chance like your typical monster...
And I'm not saying you're wrong or anything. I just feel like there's still far to many grey areas to rule out the possibility... Also, keep in mind that the MC has pretty much no family. I mean, the Dad isn't much of a supporting character, so putting him in danger, especially after hyping up how impressive of a secret agent type guy he is, wouldn't bring much impact, I think. But a "defenseless" sister on the other hand, especially if she's fully under Ella's thumb... That would make higher stakes and motivations for the MC to go fully against Ella, me thinks...
