The Wooden Mask was Vahlok's; it was given to him by the dragons as a reward/curse after he stopped Miraak. The reason, given the mask's only function, should be obvious...a precaution in case any of the other Dragon Priests followed in Miraak's footsteps. Not only was Vahlok given responsibility for Miraak, but ALL of the Dragon Priests. They act up, he takes their mask and puts it where only he can get it. "The wearer of the Wooden Mask is the bearer of ultimate tasks." Vahlok was definitely the most powerful Dragon Priest.
