"Who" is not a verb, it's a pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun.

Who is an interrogative pronoun, a pronoun that asks a question and takes the place of the noun that is the answer to the question:

Who is your new teacher. My teacher is Mr. Branson.

"Who" is also a relative pronoun, which introduces a relative clause, a clause that relates to the word that it modifies.

Mr. Branson, who is my new teacher, came from Michigan.

"Who" can also be used as subordinating conjunction, which joins a dependent (subordinate) clause to an independent (main) clause.
