| Titus Oates |
 | Preacher, best known for inventing the 'Popish Plot', framing a number of Catholics at a time of great religious tension. Not seen as one of the College's great successes, and (we would like to make quite clear) he was only at Caius for two years before leaving for St. John's, so the College's influence can (hopefully) be said to be small. |
