The Unveiling
While you're breaking into the Canonreeve's house, you'll find him in the dockside warehouse (where Esteltin resides), taking stock. He's humming a tune to himself while he works. He also has a bow strung across his back. 
:Ondendil: "Two Khajiit snuck across town"
:Ondendil: "After stealing a valuable crown"
:Ondendil: "When they found they were lost"
:Ondendil: "The thief said to his boss:"
:Ondendil: ''"You're holding the map upside-down!"''
 

You can speak to him in the warehouse. 
:"Can I help you with anything?"
:'''No thanks. I'm just looking around.
:"I'm the Sergeant-at-Arms here. I'm in charge of the furnaces up the hill there. I practically run this town. Don't be sniffling around here too much. I have everything in here nice and orderly."
:I won't touch a thing.
:"I've got my eye on you. Don't touch a thing."''

Prior to one of the updates, you had to steal a barrel of kindlepitch from the warehouse without him seeing you. If he saw you stealing kindlepitch from the barrel in the center of the warehouse, he'd say:
:Ondendil: "Hey! Get away from there!"

Agree to Razum-dar's plan to let yourself be captured by the local Heritance leaders of Mathiisen. Outside the barracks, you can hear Ondendil and Condalin talking:
:Ondendil: ''"Let's tell Malanie about that damn cat lurking around here."
:Condalin: "Aye. If Razum-dar is near, then trouble usually follows."''

Enter the barracks. If you talk to him before talking to Canonreeve Malanie, he'll say:
:''"Some rotten little thief stole from my armory when I wasn't looking. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"''

Audience with the Wilderking
Activate the petition stone again, and you'll see a vision of Aranias kneeling before three Veiled Heritance members:
:Ondendil: "We have much need of someone like you, Aranias."
:Andur: "Yes, young one. We have a problem in the Valenwood that will require your talents specifically."
:Aranias: "I—I would be honored to help however I can."
:Andur: "An opportunity has arisen to strike a devastating blow to the Dominion, to divide the Bosmer."
:Ondendil: "The Bosmer in Greenshade claim allegiance not to King Camoran, but to a man they call "The Wilderking"."
:Andur: "Killing this Wilderking will drive the Bosmer mad. He is very elusive though, so I will need your help to find him."
:High Kinlady Estre: "You realize we are entrusting you with an important task, I hope, my dear."
:Aranias: "Of course, Lady Estre. You can count on me."''

The Witch of Silatar
When you eavesdrop on him, he'll be talking about Andur:
:Ondendil: "Andur demonstrates amazing potential."
:Ondendil: "Why are we bothering with this girl and her clods of dirt? Andur could melt them with hardly a thought."
:Ondendil: "What do they call her? The Rock Witch? Hilarious. Provincial."

When engaged in conversation, he'll assume you're a servant:
:''"I'll have a glass of wine."
:I'm not a servant.
:"What? Then why are we talking?"

He has a small selection of idle lines:
:Ondendil: "Queen Ayrenn is not fit to lead."
:Ondendil: "I'm unsure which I despise more, Khajiit or Bosmer."
:Ondendil: "Have you tasted the wine? I recommend you do not."''

Circus of Cheerful Slaughter
An image of him also appears in Sheogorath's play, taunting Valaste for her studying.
:Ondendil: ''"You'll never make a living reading all day. You need to earn some coin, Valaste!"''
