What is a Soldier? - The Mafia Hierarchy

A Soldier is the entry-level, fully initiated member of a mafia crime family.

Often called a “made man,” a Soldier has taken the oath of Omertà and works under a Caporegime.

Their job? Enforce the family’s interests — whether through collections, protection, or violence.

While Soldiers have status and protection within the family, they’re also expected to earn and stay loyal — or face serious consequences.
