You don't always need to look tough or special. A lot of serial murders look unassuming. You always hear people say "He was a family man." "He was a quite person." "He was so nice, I never expected that of him."
And yet what the heck's he going to do to a Predator?
It explicitly states he likes watching people die. He's not a fighter. He poses zero threat to a Predator unless he manages to drug it somehow, and like hell that's going to happen.
Who knows. Maybe they just simple like to hunt other Predators? And somehow he managed to be one step ahead of the FBI, so he must do something right. Or maybe they like to mix their prey with a wildcard, to see what they'll do when they get attacked from the inside?
I agree. Edwin is a guy who has made it to the FBI list, his got to be good at what he does and thats hunting people, killing them and then leaving without getting caught. I dont see why a Predator wont appreciate that quality.
Yes, Edwin poses no immediate threar to a Predator but what human does. Edwins strength is his ability to manipulate people, to come across as no threat but potentially is the biggest threat. Not to the Predator but to the other humans in the Prey party. May be he was selected to f**k things up from within. To increase the fear and adrenaline - its not normal Pred behaviour but the SP are not your normal Preds, they appear to enjot stuff like that.
The Predators were probably observing him for a very long time before they took him and I dont think its to hard to believe that the Preds wont respect his obvious talents. He may not be the strongest, but his probably the cleverest (on a par with Royce, best allrounder) and his a survivor.
His a wuss when it comes to a fist fight, but his clever and manipulative enough to avoid that fist fight and then stab you in the back when you least expect it. Yes no honour, but his survived and your dead.
Spoiler
He would have survived in the story had Isabelle not turned alien or whatever the f**k happened with her! still confused.
