$\begingroup$ (Please excuse any inproper wording - english is not my native language.) Hm. I am (more than strongly) thinking of a captin, which name would fit. In that context also title and these two limbs make sense to me. Somehow even the ship and water. But I am lost with letters, box(es) and the geometry tag.

$\begingroup$ [[1]] Are the Shapes having the correct Size ? Particularly : Should the box within the box be larger ? [[2]] Is this related to "Gbz Glyre Pncgnva Zneiry" ?? $\endgroup$– PremCommented May 1, 2023 at 9:06

Ok, I have to give it a try - since the additional hints somehow confirm my first intention:
Bronson canyon is famous for many movies and series that are shot there, so I started wondering if we are searching a fictive character from the big/not so big screen. And began checking with my (nerdy) favorites. Thus, of course includes star trek.
So, what remarkable episodes are out there? (Considering the title, a robinsonade would be great) For TNG that's (imho) S05E02 - "Darmok". And since our bald hero is somehow stranded on a planet with a guy (Dathon) that repeadly tells him "Temba, his arms wide"...
But what about the hints?..
Well, after fiddling the other pieces into the square, the outer letters read a reassuring word/name:
With all that in mind, I suppose that famous captain is...
JeanLucPicard
OP Edit:
Additionally, the Darmok square is on water, referring to the line from S05E02 "Darmok on the ocean". "Darmok on the ocean" is a metaphor for loneliness or isolation, thus, the rest of the hint in the title.

$\begingroup$ Nice One , though when I tried putting those Pieces on the Square , it was a little too small , hence my Query to OP ! $\endgroup$– PremCommented May 11, 2023 at 6:27
