I doubt the Archons' lives are on the line in any case. If we assume that Charlie only has 3 of them (reasonable, given the reference), then I don't think he would risk them so cavalierly, even if they can eventually be replaced.

I imagine that if an Archon is close to being croaked, she automatically teleports back to Charlie (or perhaps just resurrects back at his base after falling in combat). Of course, such an event would certainly end the contract for which she had been hired out.

Sounds good for business in the long run. Charlie gets money, Archons gain experience, no units are lost.
