Actually, we do know a few things:

1. 1. he was a wealthy man (cf. Mt 27:57)
   
2. 2. he was a member of the Jewish ruling council (Mk 15:43)
   
3. 3. he was a secret disciple of Jesus (cf. Mt 27:57, Jn 19:38)
   
4. 4. he asked Pilate for the body of Jesus (cf. Mt 27:58)
   
5. 5. he buried Jesus by wrapping Jesus’ body in a linen cloth, placing it in his own tomb (caved out of rock) and rolling a stone over the entrance. (Mt 27:59-60)

Yeah, I know one other thing. He was one suspicious guy ...

Old Joe was a cannibal.  He got the corpse and ate it because he wanted to gain eternal life just like Jesus had said he would if he was to eat his flesh and drink his blood.  Remember, the crowd took it literally when they first heard it, which is why they stopped following Jesus because they then knew that he was a lunatic.  But old Joe believed and he had some Jesus rump roast for dinner.
