Drag a retinue member on to the character you want to transfer him to, you can't transfer traits. The two character need to be in the same settlement or stack to do this.

Retinues. Best place to transfer is in a fort so you can see all the members of a FM's retinue, you can have a maximum of 8.
For example as the Romanii I'll often have several young FM's undergoing education in Rome. When they turn 20 and become tribunes, I'll move a bunch of them into a fort and transfer retinues, also have one poor sap there with no retinue you can dump nannys, drunken uncles, mother in laws on, also with spaces to move other retinues around. And remember if you want Roman FM's to become provincial govenors they will need a spare slot to get it.
A bit of an exploit but it's fun to keep Archimedes alive for 150yrs+
