Anything that says "If X is in play" and just specifies a name, then that character counts regardless of what it is at the moment.  If it species "While this hero is in play" or something similar it only counts while every condition is true (the character is in play and they are that type).  So if a hero is captured, it is no longer a "hero in play," it is a captured character in play.  However, a captured Peter is still a Peter in play, and so on.

I thought that even if you had a captured character in your territory(lets say Peter) you could still have a hero Peter. (In T2)

Captured characters are different than Heroes or Evil Characters.  Also, the rule was changed so that captured characters are no longer duplicates.

also wondering what happens to placed enhancements like peace when a hero is captured does it stick or is it discarded? thanks!

Any card on a character that is captured (whether it is a weapon, a placed enhancement, or an Artifact) is discarded.
