There appears to be two type of draugrs. Those who devoutly served a dragon priest who would be burried with their respective priests in order to feed them life, and apparently the people who betrayed the dragons during the dragon wars who were cursed with undeath.

My guess is that the ones who say "unslaad krosis" are the ones who were cursed by the Dragons.

As for King Olaf, he was not actually a draugr. A better term for him would be a "haunting". Basically the only reason why we have to fight Olaf during the bards quest is because Olaf was really pissed off at the bard, and that anger just sort of lingered. It's not actually his soul, just left over emotion. The same goes for the bard Svaknir, who is also a haunting.
