You could privately talk to your GM and say your character wants to cover all of their bases, so just like batman, spends time strategizing about how to defeat the other party members and making preparations in case they betray the group or him. Like a ring of concentration that also has an anti-magic curse activated when the correct word is spoken in its vicinity for the mage, secretly planted on the body of a mob that your character manages to get to before the party loots.
And then, of course, you’re in a position where you could betray the party and surprise even the GM.
Though a counter argument to what you’re saying is that deception games are a thing and the players knowing that there are enemies in the group doesn’t make those games trivial to figure out. A deception RPG could be interesting to play.
