         Thranduil, King of Mirkwood

the Elvenking, was a Sindarin elf, King of the Woodland Realm, and father of Legolas. Because of Bilbo”s exploits and tales, Thranduil is perhaps the most well-known of the Elvenkings among non-elves. He was the leader of the Wood-elves of Northern Mirkwood (the Woodland Realm) for more than three thousand years in Middle-earth, seeing his realm through attacks by the great spiders and the orcs. Thranduil was known for disliking the Dwarves, a trait common among many of his kind.
