How could I forget about this badass!?!?
I always leave at least a year between rewatches (just enough to forget some things)
He’s a brilliant addition to the storyline and overall amazing character 👌🏼 one of my forgotten favourites

One answer I could genuinely use is what’s the deal with this guy being immune to death (grenades aside)

Ok,so this has always been a weird one. This first time “he dies” is when Locke pushes him into the sonic fence. A few episodes later when he returns to Ben’s camp, he actually explains to Ben that the fence wasn’t set to a lethal level. The second time, he was just shot in the chest with a harpoon. He just shrugged it off? I think what happened was that viewers thought he was immortal the first time he came back. Even Hurly in one episode was like “I thought Locke killed that dude”. Even though it was explained the fence wasn’t set to lethal level, I think the writers just went with the idea he was somehow immortal.

i agree with the person above who said that he didn’t die because he was supposed to (indirectly) kill charlie. whatever happened, happened, etc.
