oath-breaker
One who betrays
An oath-breaker is someone who violates a solemn promise or sworn commitment.
The term carries weight from older traditions where oaths bound people to gods, rulers, or sacred honor: The oath-breaker was cast out from the fellowship.
It appears most often in fantasy fiction and historical contexts, suggesting betrayal of the gravest kind.
