What does 'who' refer to in verse 14 and what did his blood accomplish?
In verse 14, 'who' refers to the Son mentioned in verse 13—God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. His blood was given to accomplish redemption and forgiveness, specifically our redemption and our forgiveness, as the passage explains here.
Les teaches that the pronoun 'who' in verse 14 reaches back to 'the Son' in verse 13. That Son is God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His blood was given for our redemption and our forgiveness. The passage goes on to identify Him as the image of the invisible God: though the Godhead is invisible, one person of that Godhead took on flesh and became visible. He is the firstborn of every creature, before anything else ever was, and by Him all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers were created and created for Him. Therefore He is the Creator, not merely one of mankind's imagined gods.
