Lord Hoth, born Rohlan, was a male Human and a famous Jedi Master who led the Army of Light against Lord Skere Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness during the New Sith Wars until their final confrontation in the Ruusan campaign. Having joined the Jedi Order with a dream of single–handedly ending the Sith threat against the Galactic Republic, Hoth trained several students and rose to become the Coruscant Jedi Temple's battlemaster and the Supreme Commander of the Republic Military, building his army from whatever resources were available, including the recruitment of Force-sensitive children. Hoth fought Kaan and his forces across the galaxy, ultimately assaulting the Sith Lord's stronghold on the planet Ruusan.
