Before he was spikedtransformed to becomeinto a koloss, Human was a [[skaa]] rebel known as Vershad. He was the leader of a rebellion in the southeast of the [[Final Empire]], in the same area where [[Clubs]] fought in his youth. Vershad lived in the desert outside the borders of the Final Empire, and crossed the border to raid outlying villages and steal supplies.{{wob ref|7707}}

His preferred methods involved converting the local skaa population to his side, and convince them to give him supplies. In return, he and his band would "raid" the village, only attacking the mansions of the [[noble|nobility]]. This allowed the skaa to get revenge against the nobility, as well as earning more supplies due to the assumption that their food stores had been raided as well.{{wob ref|7707}}

Vershad was a charismatic and intelligent skaa, managing even to keep his band alive when the [[Lord Ruler]] began to turn his attention to them. Eventually, however, the Lord Ruler sent a koloss army against Vershad and his men, with the aid of an [[Inquisitor]], who set an ambush as well as betraying the rebels. For their crimes, Vershad's men were slaughtered, and he himself was transformed into a koloss.{{wob ref|7707}}

As a koloss, Human retains much of his intelligence and determination, which makes him a noticablynoticeably clever koloss at the time, with a decent sense of logic and working observational skills.{{annotationwob ref|mb3|chapter=37-27707}}

Human meetmeets [[ElendVin]] and Vin[[Elend]] shortly after they expose villagers to the [[mist]]s outside of [[Vetitan]] in order to inoculate them. He diffuses Vin's assumptionassumptions that all koloss are of a homogeneous mentality - "just the same stupid beast repeated over and over", in her words -alike with his observations and remarks. This continues as they spend more time together, where Vin discerns that he could use fair logic and has somewhat keen observations. However, she is puzzled by Human's insistence that he is human.{{book ref|mb3|8}}

Later, Human again insists that he is human, and expresses the desire for human things,possessions such as a house. Vin attempts to explain that he can't have those things, because human ways are not the same as koloss ways, stating that humans don't kill someone because they make them feel uncomfortable. Human observes that instead of killing each other, humans just use koloss to kill one another.

Vin questions Human about the mists, whether he and the other koloss fear them. He responds by statingsaying that mist does not kill, thus it is nothing to fear, just like any other weather. But he continues his line of thought, and stated that he hates the mists, because he can feel their hatred of him, and recognises that Vin feels the same; thatway about the mists hate her. This is due to having [[hemalurgy|hemalurgic]] spikes, but neither of the two realiserealized this at the time.{{book ref|mb3|15}}

Yet again later, shortlyShortly after [[Aradan Yomen]]'s attackraid uponon Elend's camp, Human surprises Vin with the first known indication of valuesany kind of morality from a koloss, stating that it's not right that he shows her how koloss are made. Vin Pushes Human [[Allomancy|Allomantically]] to get him to reveal how koloss are created,. and heHe screams, proceeding to run into the army's human camp with a dead koloss, and immediately attemptsattempting to take the hemalurgic spikes from the koloss and place them into a wounded human soldier, but Vin stops him, and finally discoversuncovering the secret of how koloss are created. Human once again states that he is human.{{book ref|mb3|37}}

During the final conflict between [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]], Human leads koloss soldiers inside the underground tunnels of the kandra Homeland, allwhile under the influence of Ruin. Human is aware that itRuin is Ruin controlling him, and that Ruin is far more powerful than Vin. Ruin forces Human and his soldiers to ignore the humans in order to find the atium, andcache. heHe enters the kandra atium storage[[Trustwarren]], only to find it completely empty.{{book ref|mb3|81}}{{wob ref|8060}}

When [[Harmony]] takes up the power and begins to restore Scadrial to what it had been before the Lord Ruler reshaped the world using the power at the Well of Ascension over one thousand years earlier, Human and the other koloss soldiers with him are still in the underground tunnels, and survive the restoration of Scadrial as Harmony reshapes the planet again. Harmony alters these surviving koloss to become true-breeding, although it is not known how this was achieved.{{annotationwob ref|mb3|chapter=81-28061}}
