Guh.... Hmm Maggie would be a bit disadvantaged. Each Maggie that has taken up the Magdalena mantle is just an ordinary woman, usually with an extraordinary faiths, but nevertheless just regular women, they're given training by the church, but they aren't of the batman trained/skilled variety. Most of them have been nuns, others have taken up the mantle before they went that far. At the very least they've all been believers, to the point where they've made decisions based on what they believed of God and turned against the church, when it sought to do something she saw wasn't what God would have wanted.
Not sure Maggie would intentionally want to harm Casca, unless she deemed him a threat to someone's life.

Religion isn't something Casca is particularly fond as most his torturing and other unpleasant stuff has happened because the religious zealots of the Brotherhood of the Lamb caught up with him at various times over the centuries.
Casca's also somewhat amoral. He's fought against and with the enemies of Ancient Rome, battled across Asia and the New World, become one of the acolytes of the Old Man of the Mountain (the original Assassins), fought for the South in the Civil War, the British in World War I, the Germans in World War II, and the American's in Vietnam.
That said, Casca needs human company - in the very least someone to listen to his tales of the ages. Everyone around Casca dies, but he remains the same.
And every time Casca has finally thought he would die, Christ puts in a spooky voice appearance and tells him his time has not yet come. A bit of pain when you're burning on a pyre, having your heart cut out, or being weighted down and thrown overboard into the ocean.

Booming, echoing voice: "No! The time has not yet come!"
Smaller-voice heard off in the distance: "... we're still beta-testing..."
