'''Human''', originally '''Vershad''', is a [[koloss]] of unknown age created in the [[Final Empire]]. Human, when pushed, shows [[Vin]] how koloss are made, and serves Vin to a very limited degree for a short time, although hating her by his own admission.

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.
