In Assassins Creed Black Flag sometimes I notice a small white skull above one of the last enemies I need to take out to 'win' the boarding of a ship. It doesn't happen all the time and it seems to happen when he comes out from below deck and is one of the last ones you'll need out of the 5.
Just curious as to what this indicates, if anything. It's very peculiar that it's not explained at all in the game.

The white skull icon seems to indicate which enemy is engaging in combat with a crewmate that needs saving and is accompanied by a blue dot over said crewmate in trouble, this skull is to help indicate which enemy to focus on to help save that crewmate.
