You talk to Isran more than you talk to Kodlak(twice). You can also talk to Harkon that same number of times.

At this point I wonder if the end of the questline for Hearthfire your spouse dies(somehow).

I was watching a stream the other day and the audience seemed genuinely surprised that Isran made it to the credits. I think the only reason he didn't spontaneously combust is that the side questline would get awkward.

Dead guild leaders:

College

Companions

Brotherhood

Guild

Greybeards(optional)

Blades(I wish)

Volkihar

Living leaders:

Everything you haven't joined yet

Isran(sometimes)

You, until a new member comes along.
