Thorin II Oakenshield is a character from 'The Hobbit', a fantasy novel by Author J.R.R. Tolkien about a ragtag group of adventurers who set out in search of a lost Kingdom and a treasure which were seized by a terrifying dragon. Thorin is a descendant of a legendary dynasty of dwarf lords, and at every time he demonstrates why he's the leader of the company, by being the one who chairs all the meetings and the one who makes the most important decisions which affect all of the company, even if these are not really for the best all the time.

Thror also passed the key to the door along with the map to his son Thrain. These were given to Gandalf, who gave them to Thorin.

Who put the dwarves in prison for being rude in The Hobbit?

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.
