A turncoat is the term used for a treacherous, disloyal person who has betrayed those who put their faith in them, those who previously considered the turncoat loyal and true and worthy of trust.
The betrayal is often an act of double-crossing, suddenly changing alliances and going over to the enemy, etc. To name someone a turncoat is to name them the worst kind of betrayer.
Once a person is considered a turncoat they can become a pariah and no one will put their trust in them or ever respect them, not even the people who greatly benefited from their betrayal.
