You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

He was born in 1813 and him and his mother were said to be some of the first few members of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was also a body guard to Joseph Smith.

The reason he claimed he could not be killed, is because he received a blessing from Joseph Smith -"Smith said that as long as he never cut his hair '...no bullet or blade can harm thee..' 1

I included some links to some very interesting sites that talk more about the legends behind Porter. Enjoy!
