I believe that because he went against Miraak that he is Konahrik, and he probably had the wooden mask to begin with. He was upgraded to Konahrik, "Warlord", that way he could be powerful enough to confront Miraak. Also Vahlok seemed "nice" because he was the most benevolent dragon priest while the others went mad with power, or at least until he became Konahrik. But this is just a theory.
