My opponent has Aaron in play and he has already been in battle so his special is active.  My opponent comes at me with another hero.  I use a multi-capture card to take his hero and Aaron.

1) Is Aaron's special still active (pretty sure about the answer but wanted to double check)?

The next turn, my oppnent comes at me and I let them through, giving back his heroes.  The main question is:

2) Is Aaron's ability still active or does he have to come back into battle to reactivate it?

Aaron

Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: 6 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect your Tabernacle Artifacts from evil discard abilities while Aaron remains in play. May band to Miriam.

Raiders’ Camp

Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If your human Evil Character captures a Hero, place it here. When opponent makes a successful rescue attempt or battle challenge, instead of surrendering a Lost Soul, release all Heroes from here back to owner. Does not count as redeemed soul.

Isn't the land of redemption considered out of play?  In the 10th anniversary it is displayed as Out-of-Play along with the set aside area?  So wouldn't Aaron's ability croak because he is no longer in play?

**edit nvm  I didn't realize that Aaron wasn't given as a redeemed soul to the opponent, my bad 

So if Raider's camp had not been in play and The defender surrendered Aaron to the Rescuer, his S.A. would then stop?
