Legolas' father is called Thranduil.
He is never actually named. He is simply called the Elvenking.In later books, including The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, we learn that he is Thranduil son of Oropher, a Sindarin elf of Doriath. Thranduil is also the father of Legolas.
The Elven-king, Thranduil, who ruled the Woodland Elves (Northern part of Mirkwood Forest) put Thorin and Company in prinson. Elves and Dwarves have distrusted each other ever since the First Age (The Hobbit is set toward the end of the Third Age), so Thranduil was not kindly disposed toward Thorin's Company. Thorin further angered Thranduil by refusing to tell him either his name or his business, because Thorin didn't trust Thranduil either.
Yes, as the father of Legolas (a member of the "The Company of the Ring").
Assuming the question refers to Thranduil, his death is not mentioned. It is presumed he departed to Aman, the blessed land, after Sauron's defeat.
Thorin was captured by Thranduil, the Elvenking, in "The Hobbit" because Thranduil believed Thorin's party, which included Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, were thieves trying to enter his kingdom without permission. Thorin's refusal to share information about their quest to reclaim Erebor also fueled tensions leading to his capture.
Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield, Gollum ,Smaug, Bard, Beorn, Thranduil, Elrond, Fili, and Kili.
Thranduil is played by Lee Pace. He is the same actor that played Ronan in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Legolas was the son of the Elvenking of Mirkwood, King Thranduil, and thus is technically a prince, though he is never titled as such in either book or film.
