Caiaphas was the High Priest at the time of Jesus' death (Matthew 26:57).
In the Gospel of John 18:12-14, we see that Jesus was taken first to Annas. Annas had been the High Priest from A.D. 6-15. Annas was still a powerful man and many still considered him High Priest. Caiaphas was Annas' son-in-law. Also 5 of Annas' sons were High Priest at one time or another. This once priestly office was contaminated greatly politically.
Jesus was taken to Annas first to stall for time so that the full Sanhedrin could be gathered at Caiaphas' house for the trial of Jesus.

The short version: The scribes and Pharisees wanted him dead because they were loosing their power because of what Jesus had said against them. They took him to the Sanhedrin to try him for blasphemy, and found him guilty. Under Roman rule the Sanhedrin could not use capitol punishment, and so the Sanhedrin took him to Pilate.
