Ginger

Ginger the Cat is the ultimate traitor, a quisling who collaborates with the enemy for personal gain. Like other famous turncoats, Ginger eventually turns on his fellow traitors, as he plans with Rishda to control Shift. Ginger exhibits the worst traits associated with his species, as he uses his intelligence to manipulate others. Because Ginger is able to keep his head when everyone else is panicking, he exudes a haughty, cool assurance the night he enters the Stable. It is a fitting judgment on Ginger that he should be punished by becoming a dumb animal; he who had used his abilities so wrongly was deprived of them instantly.
