When it was his turn for his wolf spirit to attack Tsun and be claimed by Hircine, an unknown individual steps in and prevents this from happening. Ever since that dream, Kodlak began to hope he would encounter the said person in actually, and eventually it pays off. When the Dovahkiin requests to join the Companions, he automatically accepts them despite Vilkas's protest, for one thing: The Dragonborn IS the person who saved him in his dream.
Eventually, Kodlak grows much more pleased by the Dragonborns abilities as a Companion as the quest line progresses, and soon he makes a request to send him/her to snatch a witch's decapitated head to cleanse his wolf spirit so that he can gain access to Sovngarde when he dies. Unfortunately, when they return, they learn that the Silver Hand secretly attacked Jorrvaskr and killed Kodlak.
The remaining members of the Circle decide to make the long journey to Ysgramor's tomb and cleanse his spirit as his final wish.
