Yes, and yes.

A much as I hate to do it i'm going to disagree with Gabe,
Curse's are defined as either and enhancement or an artifact when you play them - we've gone over that in countless threads.
Artifacts do not have a brigade color, thus I would argue that If a curse is being played as an artifact it has no color either.
but thats just my 2 cents I'm probably wrong.

So if they're still curses I can't DON, LUG, or affect them with any other traditional card wouldn't you agree?

Hmm.  It seems like we could print a card that says "Return all captured white brigade heroes to owner's territory." and it should work.

Maybe we should revisit that.

But for certain, a covenant is ALWAYS a covenant, and sometimes either an enhancement or artifact IN ADDITION to covenant.

For some reason characters don't retain a brigade color when they're treated as a Lost Soul (the reason I was give is that Lost Souls don't have a brigade) but Curses and Covenants do.

Lost Souls are not at the same time characters.

I agree completely.  They're not characters.  They're captured characters and need to be treated differently.

I don't agree that they should no longer have a brigade(s).  We allow captured characters to keep their identifiers (high priest, egyptian, etc).  I've had it ruled on this forum that I can still use my captured high priest (provided he's in my LoB) to meet the requirement for U&T.  Based on that I also assume that Given Over to Egypt will still work when the only Egyptian in play is in a land of bondage.

As an added bonus, allowing captured characters to retain their brigade(s) it would be it easier to block against The Garden Tomb after they captured most of your defense with Women as Snares.

Great points, Schaef and Gabe.  I agree with Schaef, and with Gabe's reason for why they can still have a brigade regardless of the truth of Schaef's point.
