We know that SIU can do brutal, and we cannot really eliminate any of the characters as potential casualties based on the value perspective alone. From the top of my head, we can analyse our characters like this:

Akraptor may have some "daughter story" potential, but so far there was nothing but a brief mention. His death could justify a quest to save / find (or whatever) his daughter for him. Prince and Miseng have displayed no such story potential thus far, but if either of them dies, it should be powerful enough motivation to mark the point where Viole decides not to simply leave FUG, but to de facto go against them. This may even turn out to be among the only possible ways for either of them to impact the story.

On the other hand, Quatro, Blarode, and Hoaqin's hostages have far less use in this regard. They are calm / crazy / passed out, and their death promises basically no profound motivation, nor a side-story... That is, aside from Cassano, whose death would likely inspire a quest to find an alternative way to restore Horyang.
