In Bolton, there is a hostile Evil Acolyte in one of the buildings. If you charm him, however, you can talk to him. His name is Oppenheimer, and is a sage.
This is most likely a misstake, because i don't find it very likely that people walk around in towns and charm people they meet (well i did, but it's besides the point).
btw, Oppenheimer was a physicist and counts as the father of the a-bomb
