He seems eager to explore the world.

After an audience with Queen Gerhyld, you and Lyris Titanborn will need to talk with some of the locals for more information. Greyga is one of these people, so you can head to the back alley and interrupt her game.
:''"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't step on the dice! There a reason you're interrupting our game, hork-face?"

:[Persuade] Brondold's dead because of what's in those crates. They'll come for you, too.

If you fail to convince her, you can send Lyris in to do her thing:

:''"You won't hear many locals talking about gathering knowledge from the other holds, unfortunately, but I plan to remedy that! Hiding behind hold affiliations cripples us as a people."

:''"Patrols might increase in Solitude. We've had some mysterious deaths of late, all taking place in plain sight when nobody happened to be looking. Odd, huh?"

:"There's a chest tucked away in the Lonely Troll rumored to contain the bones of the first settler of Solitude. My first question: Why would someone store bones this way? So, probably not true."

:"Ever hear of a Solitude soldier getting a sliver of wood stuck in their nail while fighting? No, and you never will as long as they use my weapons."

:"Don't know if you've been out to Dragon Bridge yet, but I'm off duty from there. Glorious terrain. Fresh air. Miss it already!"

Online:Rathzin

Rathzin is a Khajiit noble who can be found in Solitude.
 

Dialogue
He's come to Solitude all the way from Elsweyr.
:"Why is this one in Solitude? Rathzin asks himself the same question. Dragons in Rimmen and Senchal made this one venture far. Yet, Dragon mounds exist here in Skyrim. Can one ever truly flee Dragons?"

:"The Halls of the Dead intrigue Rathzin. What rites do the Nords hold in those halls? Why hide from the light of the moons?"

:''"This one woke from a dream of darkness and ice. Perhaps night horror is a better way to describe it. Rathzin's blood still runs cold thinking of it. But then, this one's blood runs cold every day in Solitude."''

After Queen Gerhyld is murdered, he'll feel cursed:
:"Blood now runs here as it did where I just came from. Royal blood, too. Is Rathzin cursed to venture to places filled with death?"

Speaking to her before accepting the quest:
:"This shortage of workers plays havoc with my ledger. Would you by chance be interested in a job?"

During the quest:
:''"I haven't seen you before. Are you new to Solitude? Better yet, are you looking for work? If so, you've come to the right person. Let's talk!"
:I'm here about the notice. What sort of work are you offering?
:"Not me. My debtors. I provide funds to the Coterie of Organized Scholars and the Swords of Solitude militia. Both are shorthanded and in arrears, so I took it upon myself to correct their courses before they leave me destitute.  You'll work for them."
::I want to know more about this arrangement first.
:::"Cautious. Good. You might last long enough to help me recoup the gold I lent those … fine and upstanding organizations.  What is it you want to know?"
::::Why are you recruiting for your debtors?
:::::"Because too much of my wealth is tied up in their enterprises. They were reliable investments for years, but the recent scarcity of workers has taken its toll.  If either organization collapses, I go out of business as well."
::::Tell me about the Coterie of Organized Scholars.
:::::"They're an organization of local scholars granted the exclusive right to pursue their research in the western holds. The Mages Guild relies upon them, as does the Bards College, but they haven't been able to fulfill their obligations recently."
::::Who are the Swords of Solitude militia?
:::::"One of the oldest independent militias in the western holds. Sell-swords granted the right to ply their trade within the kingdom in exchange for pledging their service to the high king. The Fighters Guild employs them almost exclusively, or they did."
::All right. Who do I talk to about a job?
:::"Tinzen represents the Coterie. Odd work, but it pays well. Hidaver handles the Militia's assignments. Dangerous work. Don't do it alone.  Here's an advance. Make sure you're prepared for the job they offer you. You're no good to anyone dead."

Speaking to her again after hearing about the job:
:"Tinzen's scholars should have simple jobs fit for an adventurous individual; however, you won't want to go it alone on orders from Hidaver's militia. Their duties are far too dangerous for one person. Help both with their tasks and we can all get paid."''

:"I gave some bread to a beggar who came here from another hold. I did not know my neighbors could scowl so deeply!"

:"I spent most of my life hunting game, but that gets boring after awhile. Now, I hunt down lawbreakers. I'll be back at it again shortly. Try not to get on my list."

:"Though we worship the Divines here in Solitude, pay heed to the old ways. Some still adhere to them and will find you wanting if you don't respect them—even unknowingly. Go listen to a bard sing "The Song of Gods." That'll help you."''

:'''I've been tasked by the Swords of Solitude to deal with the Giant you encountered.
:"A bunch of pike-pushing, summertime soldiers stand no chance against that monster. I don't care how many of you go charging after it. It'll take a platoon of soldiers, at least!"
:How'd you survive?
:"I ran. You would have too if you saw how quickly that Sea Giant butchered my friends. Took a horse and rider with every swing. Split my mare straight through the saddle. If I hadn't been standing in the stirrups I'd have wound up the same."
:Do you have any advice for facing the Sea Giant?
:"Don't underestimate it. For a thing that size, it was cunning enough to stay unnoticed and ambush us. Forget whatever you know about fighting Giants. This is another beast entirely."
:I'll be wary.

If you speak to her again at this point, she says:
