doublecrosser
This term carries a heavy negative connotation, implying a specific type of betrayal where a pre-existing agreement or partnership is weaponized against the other party. It is more pointed than a general traitor, as it specifically describes the act of pretending to be an ally while secretly working for an enemy or for one's own benefit.
In terms of register, it is commonly found in espionage thrillers, crime novels, and casual conversation. While it describes a serious breach of trust, the word itself has a slightly cinematic or dramatic quality compared to the more formal and legalistic term traitor.
