I have a question about this sentence I wrote:

' They took the Wenn Del path and were captured by the Wenn who nearly fed them to their master'

Is the use of 'who' right in this sentence? Normally, 'who' should only be used when refering to a person but in this case I feel like 'who' is the only thing that sounds right. I am not a native English speaker so any help on this matter is appreciated.
