One Last Time
After the failed attack by Luchist Lasso on their cargo ship, and the revelation that Jeanne was not a holy person, Porf alongside Larch Diarc and John Denbat decided that Marco could no longer be trusted and that it was time to face of with Asakura Hao one last time.

The mission was planned so that Larch and John would take guard posts, while Porf would target Hao from a small distance with his sniper rifle. After some small chit-chat about whether or not they should go through with the mission, Porf reported that he was in position, but when he had Hao's head in his target, he would suddenly lose focus due to seeing Hao crying.

As Team X-II's attempt to kill Hao fails, Porf is the first to die by being impaled by one of the fingers of the Spirit of Fire. As he dies he tells John and Larch, over the raido, that they should run away. Hao later tells John that they had seen something they shouldn't.

"I am in a bad mood... your friends... saw something forbidden. Your soul will be consumed with you... in every way! You won`t be going to Heaven or Hell!" -Asakura Hao to John, before killing him.

Following the events of the Gate of Babylon, Porf is somehow killed when Hang Zang-Ching cuts of the head of Sariel.
