Under the Top man are 12 Soldiers.
A prospective Soldier is carefully supervised and tested to assess his obedience, discretion, ability and ruthlessness. If something were to happen to the Underboss the next would be picked from this pool.
Like the Underboss, the Adviser is over a pool of 12 men called Specialists. These Specialists are always paired with a Soldier and are well educated individuals.

On the bottom are the associates. People who work for the family but aren't considered part of it. Mostly people who've come to owe something and have a useful skill to pay of their debt with. Lower than nothing these people are only used as tools.
