According to Merriam-Webster, a traitor is defined as one who betrays another's trust or an obligations to duty; one who commits treason.

One who betrays another's trust can mean so many things, so many kinds of circumstances. One who betrays an obligation to duty, again, so many kinds of situations could fall into this description. Betrayal of trust or a duty could be describing a relationship between a parent and child; a husband and wife; friends; an employer and employee; an employee and the public; a government official and that government and/or its people; a citizen and his neighbors; or a person who takes an oath of duty and the people that persons serves or the public in general.

Characteristics of people who betray are many and usually a combination; a list representative of all negative human traits. A list like 'the seven deadly sins', see the link below if you don't know them.

A traitor, on who commits treason, is another situation, defined differently, depending where you are. See the link below for differences between governments of that definition.
