Beneath the Stone
Arriving at Shor's Stone during Beneath the Stone, he will be standing near Vigrod Wraithbane, next to Tovisa:
:"Did I hear that right? The hero of Eastmarch? Well met, and good to have you with us!"

If you already started the quest with Sage Tirora, he'll say:
:''"We're defending this town to the last warrior. If you're here to help, talk to Vigrod or Ree-Zish."

Smoke on the Horizon
You will need to speak with him during the quest.
:"Blood for the Pact!"
:Good to see you again, Centurion. What's happened here?
:"Sinmur. The giant led the Reachmen from Shor's Stone. Arrived just in time to see the Watch Captain throw herself into the fray. I need to restore order here. Can we press you into service again?"
:Aye.
:"Your first priority: get pressure off the troops. Get out there and put steel or spell to those Reachmen bastards. We need to push them back and regroup."
:What then?
:"Locate Captain Jardirr. The troops might have an idea where she's gotten to. We can't lose another capable officer."
:Into the breach!

After the quest begins, you can speak with him further. You can also ask him for assistance against the Lurchers.
:"If Jardirr lives, she'll be up for a commendation. If she dies, I'll box her ears in Sovngarde!"
:What is this place?
::"A pass cuts through the hills here, straight into the Smokefrost Peaks. Normally comes out just north of Riften. When a giant hasn't collapsed the hillside."
::Sinmur collapsed the pass?
:::"Aye. No easy way to get through here, send word to Riften. With what's happened over at Fort Greenwall, we're on our own. Hmm. We'll have to get the fires lit."
:::Fires?/You mentioned fires?
::::"Aye. There's a tower on the hill near here. Great big horker of a bonfire set up, with wood treated all special. Light that fire and the whole Rift will see the smoke. Put everyone on alert."
:::What happened at Fort Greenwall?
::::"Bandits, it sounds like. I'm not sure. Only a few of our runners are getting through. I don't know if they're caught up in combat, or …."
:[Persuade] Lots of Lurchers out there.
::"Well, Murmurs-to-Trees has been working on a ward to use against them. He's just down the stairs, go ask him about it."
::Thanks. I'll do that.

Dangerous Union
He welcomes you to Vernim Woods.
:"Welcome to the fight, my friend. I hope the road from Shor's Stone wasn't a long one."

Gift of the Worm
You can speak with him to hear his thoughts on the unholy alliance.
:"I suppose it makes sense. At their core the Reachmen and the Worms both venerate the Daedra. Just never figured they'd do anything like this …."

Through the Shroud
Before drinking from the Gray Jar, he commends you for your efforts.
:"Dirty work out there. Glad we have you on our side."

He comments on your appearance after you drink from the Gray Jar.
:"Are you sick? You seem to have lost a lot of weight."

To Nimalten
You will need to speak with him to begin the quest.
:"Glad you made it out, Arrow. I'll make sure Dajaheel and Belron go up on the rolls in Mournhold. It's mad to think of all those people. Reduced to ink on parchment."
:What's the next move, Centurion?
:"We need to warn the settlements west of here. You put a stop to Stral and the Reachmen, but the Worms are a far bigger menace."
:Where should I start?
:"Nimalten. Thane Fjora is a brave, intelligent woman. And she has the resources to protect the rest of the Ragged Hills. Grab a guardsman when you reach the town. They'll direct you where you need to go."
:Consider it done, Centurion.

Speaking with him again:
:"Fjora's apparently a dynamo on the battlefield. I've heard stories you wouldn't believe."
:What will you do now, Centurion?
:"Death, Reachmen, now the Worms. I need to check on my family. We have a little farm down south. My wife's father started it, actually. Stop by and say hello, if you get the chance. Tell her I sent you. Woman makes the most amazing sweet rolls."''

The Farmer's Champion
thumb|right|Gjakil, injured
You will find Gjakil injured north of the farm.

If you are also completing Soul Harvest, you can release the soul of Pacta whose geode is right next to Gjakil:
:Centurion Gjakil: "Pacta? Is that you?"
:Pacta: "Tell my family … I love them."

Either way, he'll say:
:''"My friend! I didn't think I'd see you again so soon. Look, I need to see to this wound. I know I can trust you. Will you go after my girls?"
:I'll go after them, Gjakil. Don't worry.
:"I'll catch up as soon as I can. Kyne watch over you."''

He heads back towards the farm to find his wife and rest up a little bit. You can find him later on the western riverbank, where's he's just killed a mammoth.
:''"This great furry horker didn't go down easily. All I could think of were my girls."
:Gretsine said the giants are going to attack again.
:"They've spent blood in defense of their land. They have to finish what they've started. I … I'm going to challenge their chieftain. It's the only way."
:What will that accomplish?
:"Clan bosses lead organized attacks. Cut off the head, and the ice wraith dies. You get me?"
:You're injured, Gjakil. I should challenge the chieftain.
:"You would defend us? With your life? You remind me of Treva himself. The old farm-thane never backed down from a fight. Here, follow me. I'll show you the way."
:I'm right behind you.'''

Follow Gjakil up the hill, towards the giant's camp.
:Centurion Gjakil: ''"We need to get the chieftain's attention. That drum! In the treasure pile."''

You have the option to speak with him before beating the drum to summon the giant chieftain. You can persuade him to give you his father-in-law's mammoth horn, an ancient, single-use item which can stun mammoths.
:''"They keep trophies every time they kill an invader. That drum in the treasure pile should get the chieftain's attention."
:[Persuade]Do you have anything to help against the giant?
:"Now that you mention it, there's Treva's Mammoth Horn! It's old and one use might shatter it, but it'll stop a mammoth in its tracks! Here. Use it if you have to. I don't care if it breaks, so long as you come out alive."
:I'll use it if I need to.

After you kill the chieftain and his mammoth, you must speak to Gjakil to end the quest.
:"Ysmir's beard! You've done it."
:Your family is safe, Gjakil.
:"It's a hard life out here in the White. Somewhere off in Sovngarde, Treva's smiling down at us. You're a part of the clan now. Fight well!"

After the quest:
:"Your kindness today … I can't repay it. All I can offer you is my thanks and the love of my family."''
