it seems weird that EVERY named dragon priest has a mask except for vahlok the jailor... considering his legendary status and how he was honored and respected... you'd think he'd have the mightiest mask of them all, except for maybe miraak.

instead, he has nothing... for someone so great, it was like fighting a generic dragon priest, with no real reward.

i was wondering if there is some reasoning behind it, or if bethesda just forgot to give him one?

he also seemed easier than other dragon priests... again, probably because he seemed like a generic one.

thats two oddities when it comes to dragon priests and the masks, now... first, the ultimate mask from the vanilla game... konahriik... and this dragon priest, vahlok.

a priestless mask, and a maskless priest... i wish there was some story behind vahlok having no mask, and i'd really like to see some story behind the konahriik mask...

They ran out of mask models?

He was just to BAWSS to have one.

The Masks are hinted to be a means of control over the People that wore them, when Alduin decided He was meant to rule creation as the first born of Akatosh, the Dragon Priests went from normal priests of the Nordic Pantheon to insane crazy puppets enforcing the will of Alduin upon the Ancient Nords. Vahlok was allowed an Honorable Death, the likely reason Our characters met His Lich was because He did expect Miraak to return from Apocrypha, and His Mortal devotion to putting down the Cult of Miraak kept His Spirit bound to Nirn as a Lich.

Or maybe it just has not been found yet, how about one that combines 3 elements rather like the chaos magic?
