Of course! They're Redshirts, after all!
Caius is the main character, of course; the rest are NPCs, which can either die or survive to live another day. The best part is when you build awesome characters, then have them die out of a single shot; you'll never know what will happen to them, but if they survive, they slowly grow up to be awesome.
Who knows: maybe one of them ascends to Mauve Shirt and then to a "regular" within Caius' group. It is a small group, after all, against "hundreds of veteran soldiers", after all, so there's a chance not even Caius might survive.
