Caiaphas is a minor antagonist in Chris Heimerdinger's 2010 novel ''Sorcerers and Seers. ''He is a Roman-appointed high priest of Jerusalem.

Sorcerers and Seers
Caiaphas, along with his father-in-law Annas, is present at the council meeting that Jim Hawkins and Judas Iscariot attend. Judas tells Caiaphas that he and Jim are there to vouch for Jesus' life. Annas states that he doubts whether Jesus is really concerned for His own life. Judas insists that Jesus has only came to Jerusalem to spread peace and love. Caiaphas asks why Jesus didn't come to this meeting himself. Jim answers by saying that Jesus knew the high priests would kill Him.

Caiaphas pressures Judas even further and exposes him for stealing church funds. As Judas quails in guilt, Jim asks Caiaphas where his wife and son (who were kidnapped earlier by Nimrah) are being held. Caiaphas states that he knows nothing of the matter. He then goes on to tell Judas that he will expose his thievery to Jesus. Judas counters this, saying that Jesus has known for a while. Caiaphas threatens that he and his men will arrest Judas themselves if he doesn't help them arrest Jesus and put Him on trial. Judas reluctantly agrees to Caiaphas' terms and begins to work out the details of their plan with him.
