In a sentence

かれheだれwho

Who is he?

How it works

(topic) raises かれ (he) as the topic — “as for him…”. Then the question word だれ (who) simply takes the slot a name would fill, and nothing more is needed: in casual speech the copula and a question particle are both dropped, so the rising tone alone marks the question.
