The way I see it, there are two possibilities. Either the fact that Adam's mask has red marks signifies a truer dedication to the "Grimm" allusion thus making him it's originator (thus current leader)... or it denotes high rank within the White Fang which just means Adam is close to the leader. No matter what, he MUST be of higher rank that the Lieutenant since he doesn't feel obligation toward wearing a standard uniform as the Lieutenant mostly does. Of course, Blake didn't wear a uniform either...
