Yes.

Assuming you ask for cards like Idle Gossip that start side battles between the rescuing Hero and someone else, you can choose any Hero in the battle during a rescue attempt as the rescuing Hero.
Everyone in the battlefield when the LS is rescued gets credit for the rescue. That's been the rule since as long as I've been playing, though where that is written, I couldn't say. I know that even a Hero who doesn't have access to a Lost Soul (say a male Hero in an RA for the female only) gets experience credit for the rescued soul in T2, but that's the only precedent I know of.
The problem with that is whether or not Jacob could have won the battle without the Captain. If not, then the Captain aided the rescue. The Captain also may have kept ECs out of the battle altogether from sheer awesomeness.
The part I'm not sure about is if heros that are kicked out of battle before the end are still counted as rescuing heros?
