By supernatural standards he isn't terribly impressive in a fair fight, but he does have fighting finesse as an advantage, which in many cases gives him a double digit pool to attack with alongside his high defense threshold, supernatural toughness shticks and uncommon weakness. If he wanted to kill some dumbass civilian extra mano a mano the only reason I'd bother rolling dice as the MC would be to figure out how long it takes or if there's enough gunfire or whatever to attract attention.
Regarding Adel and Harley: There's a couple obvious directions Hashashin-Setite relations could go in, with one option being
chummy. It depends on how innocent Adel wants to be starting out, but both cults have an interest in drug trafficking and it's plausible that his family could hassle him into doing a couple low pressure jobs as a mule or go-between in an attempt to get the kid started on some gateway crimes before trying to give him another shove into the deep end of the pool. Meanwhile, giving people a "helpful" moral nudge is supposedly the Church of Set's entire reason for being. I imagine the conversation between Uncle Hash and Harley's bosses going something like this:
Uncle:"I'm at my wit's end, the kid has no heart for the family business."
Setites:"That's terrible, and our army of hookers, pushers and snuff auteurs is here to help."
Bonus points because it sounds like Harley was strong-armed a bit herself and could do a one-person Good Cop, Bad Cop routine along the lines of "I know it's hard, but seriously, selling drugs gets easier if you quit being such a baby about it."
