Do I need a relative pronoun here?
This is my friend who I told you about.
This is my friend I told you about.
Is this is my friend the object or the subject? I'm sorry I'm confused.
And, is the relative pronoun mandatory here?
Thanks.

No, it's not mandatory. However, if you use it, in formal contexts, who should be replaced with whom , as it's grouped with a preposition ( about ). Especially in BrE.
