A traitor isn't necessary; you don't need a back-stab to make a interesting plot point, as it was said on page 1.
Also, it wouldn't make sense; none of the characters have motivation. Shepard earned all of their loyalty (subjective), so why would they back-stab him? They're his team.
I'm not saying that Mass Effect NEEDS a traitor, what I'm saying is if there were to be one I think it would be Legion. I think if there were to be one here are the two things it should follow.
1) I think in order for it to be an effective move for there to be a traitor I think he or she is going to have to be someone that we already know it can't be someone new that we don't know to much because then you (well at least I don't) care to much about. In Dragon Age Origins there is one and when it happened my reaction was really I should have killed this person when I had the chance. ( I don't think I did but I hope I didn't give anything away for those who didn't play it, If I did I"m sorry)
2) The person has to betray you to the reapers or whoever is working for them. For example the Geth in ME1 or the Collectors in ME2.
That is why I say Legion because I don't see an Organic turing the best hope of stopping the Collectors and saving all organic life in the universe over to the things that are trying to destroy it all. I'm speaking of there own free will and not being controlled.
