Study
The Relative Pronoun QUIEN/QUIENES is used to refer to people, and changes in grammatical number (depending on how many people you’re talking about!) However it does not change in grammatical gender. It often translates to “who” or “whom”.

Mi profesor, quien es muy inteligente, habla esta noche.
My professor, who is very intelligent, is speaking tonight.

La mujer, con quien fui a la tienda, es mi hermana.
The woman, with whom I went to the store, is my sister.

Remember, SPANISH AIN’T ENGLISH!
English tends to omit relative pronouns while Spanish does not!

Adapt
La mujer, quien yo amo tanto.
The woman, who I love so much.

El, quien está encargado con el asunto.
He, who is in charge of the matter.
