BLANK OUT ALL OTHER EVENTS. 
Details: This is a Terrorist NPC. Drop him in a town, and upon seeing any pc, he will drink his potion, burst into flames, charge the pc's and blow up, killing himself and any commoners around him. 

He leaves a burn trail that will gradually go out, and if you kill him before he gets to his 'spot', he will just burn out without an explosion. You can also pick pocket him to remove his potion so he's disarmed. Makes for good role playing IMHO. 

Download the .erf here and plug him in. Requires a custom potion, but it's all in the .erf.
