[potential spoilers]
After making my way through the Artorias DLC recently I returned to the main game world and fought the Great Wolf Sif again. However when I started the fight and Sif jumped down from the grave of Artorias, something a bit strange happened... Instead of instantly attacking me, Sif paused and sniffed me instead. At this point the music will change slightly and Sif will let out a lamenting howl, presumably for his old master Artorias. I'm not sure what triggers this, perhaps just entering the DLC does; however I would presume you must have defeated Knight Artorias in order to view the extra cut scene.
Another obscure fact to mention is that the ring located behind Artorias's tomb - the Hornet Ring - belonged to the Lord's Blade Ciaran, who was also one of Gywn's four knights. Ciaran can be found in the large coliseum within the Royal Wood after defeating Knight Artorias. She is lamenting the loss of her dear friend and asks for his soul in exchange for 2 unique weapons. A little off-topic but I think this would imply Ciaran and Artorias shared some form of relationship. The Lord's Blade set which can be gained from murdering Ciaran is also extremely similar to the Artorias armour set in appearance.
Lord Gwyn's other two knights are: the Dragonslayer Ornstein, and Hawkeye Gough. The latter can also be found in the Artorias DLC and thanks you for ending Artorias's life honourably. Ornstein on the other hand seems to have no emotions towards his former companions, and offers the player no opportunity to communicate.
