Kodlak Whitemane

Kodlak Whitemane is the Elder member of the Companions. Kodlak Whitemane is the Harbinger of The Companions, he does not give orders but his word is highly respected in Jorrvaskr and all across the nine Holds. He is also a member of The Circle though he wishes to be rid of his Werewolf powers.Upon death a Werewolf's soul goes to Hircine's hunting grounds, but Kodlak wishes to go to Sovngarde.

If you completed the Companion's questline and became Harbinger, after ridding Kodlak of his Lycanthropy, you will see Kodlak in Sovngarde among the other lost spirits there ensnared in the soul trapping mist.

Background
For 20 years now, Kodlak has commanded The Companions, balancing his tactical skill, ferocity in combat, and commanding presence. But those days are drawing to a close. A year ago, Kodlak contracted the rot and his condition has rapidly diminished. He has become weak in body, and his frustration shows. He's taken to locking himself behind closed doors, pouring over old documents, desperate to cure himself of lycanthropy.

Note

 * When performing the quest Glory of the Dead, you are sent to retrieve the last shard of Wuuthrad from Kodlak's End Table. You can also find Kodlak's Journal, if you read the journal it details Kodlak's thoughts on you as you progress through the story of the Companion's main quest line.
 * Kodlak Whitemane's name is probably derived fom the word "vlkodlak", which means "werewolf" in some slavic languages.
 * If you have completed the Companion's main quest line, and then go to Sovngarde, Kodlak Whitemane can be found there, however without any interesting dialogue.
 * After completing the quest Glory of the Dead, Kodlak's spirit will mention a "great harrowing," a gathering of the heros of Sovngarde to rescue the werewolves in Hircine's hunting ground. No such quest exists at this time. Though it may be included in an expansion.
 * If you run ahead of the Heroes of the Dragon War to face Alduin alone, it is possible that Kodlak will charge in to assist you in fighting him.
