The Elven King
The Elven-king, Thranduil, who ruled the Woodland Elves (Northern part of Mirkwood Forest) put Thorin and Company in prinson.

Thorin further angered Thranduil by refusing to tell him either his name or his business, because Thorin didn't trust Thranduil either.

This ended when Sauron revealed himself, slew the elves' king, Celebrimbor, and the Gates of Moria were shut.
