I don't even remember who that is.
Unsurprising, since he is only onstage (so to speak) briefly in The Hobbit, and the characterization is, well, not much like the Elves of LotR. Thranduil is Legolas' father, the king of the Elves of Mirkwood.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
