who am/is

He eyes me who am/is in rage.

In ordinary everyday contexts, the sentence is awkward and unnatural-sounding whichever you choose. It sounds like something from the pages of a very old book. It also should be "in a rage", by the way.

This doesn't make sense.

Perhaps you mean:
He eyes me with rage.
or
He looks at me with rage in his eyes.

I believe that "who am/is in (a) rage" is intended as a relative clause modifying "me". The question of whether it should be "am" to match the referent of "who" is a perennial favourite, but rather an artificial one since we almost never use the pattern

That's exactly my point! Emotion: wink

the full sentence is -
He narrows his eyes at me who am/is in rage.
