Per the REG, captured characters are treated as neutral, unless an ability specifies targeting of what kind of character is captured, such as Covenant of Palestine (PoC). So if Slaves was captured to your opponent’s LoB as a hero, if a EC tried to negate a good card, your opponent could not target Slaves because it’s no longer aligned to good but to neutral.

Thank you. And what does this mean if I try to use Lamb's Righteousness on Slaves? Do they always count as Hero then, regardless whether I captured them used as blocker?

Lamb's Righteousness: If rescuing and your Hero is opposed, you may rescue a captured Hero in opponent's territory. If you do, restrict yourself from rescuing additional cards this turn.

*I think* the takeaway here is that you can think of them as a captured "whatever they were when they were captured" with neutral alignment.

So as I already thought? When send to LoB while started as blocker I cannot rescue them using Lamb's Righteousness?

Yes and yes. If used as a Hero, it's a captured Hero. If used as an Evil Character, it's a captured EC. Either way it's neutral although I don't think you were confused about that part.

Thanks guys!
