As mentioned before, you have to go against the interests of the Helm to get marked. To get the Skull and Bones Death Mark, you must visit Helm-affiliated suppliers and attack them. If you explore the Helm, you will find several suppliers selling resources, with the title providing an option to buy the goods from them.

However, you must ignore that option, sink the supplier ships, and loot the resources to get marked. Doing this repeatedly will anger the Helm and the Skull and Bones Death Mark bounty will be put on you.

Once you get the mark, various bounty hunters, rogue ships, and real-time players will hunt and attack you frequently.
