If 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'd say the one where his mask got broken or he was so powerful he didn't need one seems pretty legit. Although, some masks are subpar, like Hevnoraak's mask
