A Wikia contributor 24.72.183.205what i don't really understand, is why Vahlok tries to kill you when you find him

Don't forget he still served the dragons. there for he served alduin and the dragonborn killed that guy or is about to so it's very possible that he was rying to get some revenge. A Wikia contributor 218.186.252.200If Vahlok was just a normal priest, it won't explain his seeminly insane magic powers when he fought Miraak (If you are NOT a DB and you just whipped a DB's butt I'd say you'll have to be pretty powerful). The dragons would have promoted him based on allegiance and power, which Vahlok both had, so he must have been pretty high up.

I'm not sure but i thing that all the dragonpreists where dragonborns. A Wikia contributor 24.125.90.204My theory is Vahlok was so powerful he did not need one. Also the reason he seemed "nice" is because perhaps he geuninely revered the dragons, unlike the others which most likely just did it for power. So he was probably considered a "tough but fair" somewhat-benevolent (compared to the others) dictator.

The masks where gifts for the most powefull one's not what made them powerfull. so if he needed or not a mask if he where one of the most powerfull one's he had one.

sry for bad english from iceland : )
