That king dude sure looks like an elf, or at least he tries to.
Don't know much about celtic lore but apparently Lugh Lamfhota was a hero of the Tuatha de Dannan, so probably this "king" is very loosely based on that.

We don't just have a king... we have a god!

Lugh
Lugh, Samildanach (many skilled). This is the Celtic Mercury. The grandson of Balor (leader of the Fomorians and the son of Cian and Ethniu, a Sidhe princess. His feast is Lughnasadh, a celebration of the death of his "foster mother", Tailtiu. He is the combination of the Tuatha De' Danann and the Fomors. He replaces Nuada as the King and battle leader of the Tuatha De' Danann and leads them to ultimate victory in the second Battle of Moytura. He is sometimes called the "Shining One" and/or Lugh Lamhfada (of the "long arm"). He also has attributes of a carpenter, mason, poet,Druid, physician and a goldsmith. He can be considered the Irish God of just about everything. He was also the father of the great Irish hero, Cuchulain.
Another source says: "Lugh is the god Lug Lamfhota, roughly meaning bright and long-armed. He is a hero of the Tuatha De Danann and his close counterpart is the Welsh god Lleu Llaw Gyffes. Significantly, Lugh may be one character of a triple- aspect Irish god who also encompasses the great warriors Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) and Cuchulainn."
