A Lost Soul with a skull.
A few passive Lost Souls are associated with skulls.
Dialogue

Heed my warning traveler; this is a dangerous and terrible realm. You stand before the gates of the Firestorm Citadel, the former heart of the great Kingdom of Almire, now a dominion twisted by fire and malice.
Leave this place if you want to live.

|
- I've come this far, I need to move forward.
|
May your end be mercifully swift.

Few make it across the bridge traveler. Perhaps you stand a chance of surviving, or perhaps... no, even the good sprites below will be swallowed by Vanaduke's flames. It is hopeless.
|
|
- Vanaduke?
- I need to keep moving. (Ends conversation)
|
Lord Vanaduke is the master of this broken realm. Once the king of Almire, Vanaduke now commands a terrible legion in the ashes of his former kingdom. You would do well to never cross his path.

- I'm not here to make trouble with Vanaduke.
Notes
The spawning and despawning behavior of lost souls indicate an ability to appear and disappear in certain locations. The passive Lost Soul in Blackstone Bridge seems to be in both the the beginning and end of the floor, but this could easily be two different souls, and this seems to be the more likely scenario, considering the similar appearances and distinct locations of the Lost Soul (Shroud of the Apocrea) in The Obsidian Nexus.
The skull has a similar appearance to the one seen inside a Soul Jelly, indicating another connection between souls and this particular type of skull.
Appearance:
It is unknown if the skull is worn, possessed, or has any connection to the soul's past life.
The function of the skull is unknown. Speculations include:
- It stabilizes high-energy souls with a tangible container. Souls wearing the skull seem to be more anchored in the plain, boasting more energy and less bobbing, and certainly a lot less self-destruction.
- To indicate individuality to an extent, considering that souls who wear skulls are the only ones with names. Not all souls with skulls have names of their own, however.
