Paul was an apostle (follower) of Jesus, who converted to Christianity after Jesus' death by crucifixion, and there is no evidence he ever personally met Jesus when he was alive.
Paul was originally known as Saul of Tarsus, and a rabid persecutor of Christians. On the road to Damascus, he is said to have been visited by the resurrected Jesus, and struck blind. After his vision cleared Saul took the name of Paul, and began to proclaim the gospel, as revealed to him by Jesus the Christ.
Paul's writings and preaching had a heavy influence on the Christian doctrine and is demonstrable in the many epistles he wrote which have been included in the Christian canon of Scripture.
Good sources of information are the wikipedia articles on the early Christian leaders, as well as the New Testament of the Christian bible itself.
