Bible

Nicodemus the people is victor, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. He is first noticed as visiting Jesus by night (John 3:1-21) for the purpose of learning more of his doctrines, which our Lord then unfolded to him, giving prominence to the necessity of being "born again." He is next met with in the Sanhedrin (7:50-52), where he protested against the course they were taking in plotting against Christ. Once more he is mentioned as taking part in the preparation for the anointing and burial of the body of Christ (John 19:39). We hear nothing more of him. There can be little doubt that he became a true disciple. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Nicodemus

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, who showed favor to Jesus Christ. He appears three times in the Gospel of John: the first is when he visits Jesus one night to listen to his teachings (3:1-21); the second is when he states the law concerning the arrest of Jesus during the Feast of Tabernacles (7:45-51); and the last follows the Crucifixion, when he assists Joseph of Arimathea in preparing the corpse of Jesus for burial (20:39-42).

An apocryphal work exists, called the Gospel of Nicodemus, which recounts the harrowing of Hell.
