servitor
One who serves
A servitor is a person who serves another, especially in a subordinate or attendant capacity.
The word carries an archaic or literary flavor, evoking images of household servants or attendants in formal settings.
In British universities, particularly Oxford, a servitor was historically a student who received financial assistance in exchange for performing menial duties.
The term occasionally appears in fantasy and gaming contexts to describe loyal minions or magical constructs that serve a master.
