Your fisrt answerer gave the words accurately, but in usage you will need to decline them, what part of the sentence are you using for each?
Prognatus=son
frater germanus or consanguineus =brother }senior or junior denotes order
plebicola=friend of the common people
servus, minister, or famus=servant ]also adsecula (you might wish to consider discipula)(these nouns like agricola look feminine, but are masculine.)
miles militis Acies=Army soldier
