compeer

One of rank

A compeer is a person of equal rank, status, or ability—a peer or colleague.

The word is formal and somewhat archaic, appearing mainly in literary or historical contexts: He was respected among his compeers.

It can also mean a companion or associate, though this sense is rarer.
