The relationship between Banquo and Macbeth was one of colleagues.

According to Act 1 Scene 2 Line 34, both Banquo and Macbeth were captains. They appeared to work well with each other on the job (Lines 34-41). They also appeared to carry that good working relationship over into an equally good friendship ... until things changed with Macbeth's plotting and carrying out the murders of first his sovereign and then his best friend!
