'care' vs 'care about'

Could you tell me which one is right between "I don't care who he is" and I don't care about who he is?" If both of them are possible, what is the difference between them?

Then, are both of "I don't care about him" and "I don't care him" also possible?

Is "I don't care about him" right? Or, are both of them wrong?

lucas21cIs "I don't care about him" right?
Yes, that's fine. Evidently 'care' will take a clause object but not a noun or pronoun.
