What if the dragonborn is konahrik? Konahrik did not have a dragonpriest, maybe Konahrik had to "borrow" all the other dragonpriests to become a dragonpriest, iven if it takes 5000 years!

Maybe it was meant to be the dragonbron's. Like, it was created in hopes the dragonborn would change sides to Alduin's for power like Miraak (minus the turning against part). But Alduin got mad about the DB killing his minions and decided to go on without him. He had been planning on calling back his minions and bringing their masks and opening the shrine. But he got mad and decided not to.
Konahrik is a very powerful item they wouldn't just bestow it on any dragon priest, I mean surely the priest who bore this mask would undoubtably be their leader. Now think who is the only named dragon priest whom did not have a mask but achieved great fame in his life time & was respected by both men & dragon alike. I firmly believe the mask was meant for Vahlok the jailor the mask was created the dragon war happened he either died before or after the war the eight masks/keys we scattered across skyrim buried with their respective owners. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for a few thousand years, the masks passed out of all knowledge. ;)
That would explain why his first, and almost only interaction with you, is saving your life.
I see a lot of nines in Skyrim... 9 masks, 9 holds, 9 divines...

I had a disc about this on the skyrim faqs.
Konahrik could, as stated before, be buried under High Hrothgar, waiting to gain power once again.
In Order to revive him, it would be needed to return the power of the other priests to Konahrik, and return the mask to his tomb.
I know this is a bit of necro posting, but I think you are correct in asserting that Vahlok was meant to possess Konahrik. However, what if the reason Vahlok is missing his mask is due to the Dragonborn going back in time (wearing the wooden mask) to Bromjunaar Sanctuary and taking it before the mask was given to Vahlok?
