Note
A plural built on a comparative. Lesser is itself the comparative form of little, and here it serves as a count noun for whatever ranks smaller in size, value or importance. Like any regular count noun, it simply takes -s. In use it most often names people of lower rank or standing, typically after a possessive: her lessers, their lessers.
