Lord Hoth was arguably on Yoda's or Mace's level. He was the best Jedi of his time, during the Battle of Ruusaan he led the Army of Light, and he was as physically imposing as Malak. Good thread Kamikz. *winks*
Hoth was the guy who ended a war that had gone of for thousands of years. No one else in all that time had been able to do that. That basicly means that out of a thousand years of Jedi, he was the best one. There were a lot of people better than Malak in the thousand years before he came around.

Well, we have to make assumptions then. He was chosen to lead the Army of Light against the Brotherhood, a nomination that was awarded to the most powerful Jedi of the time. So we can effectively say that Hoth was around the level of Mace or Yoda. Not to mention that he and his forces pushed back the Sith, forcing them to retreat. That is when Kaan's desperation got the better of him.
Lord Hoth was a famous Jedi Master who led the Army of Light against Lord Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness during the New Sith Wars, until a final confrontation with the forces of darkness at the Battle of Ruusan.
It is likely that his name is connected with that of the planet Hoth, but it is not known if the planet is named for him or the other way around. The Jedi Master did fight a furious battle with Kaan on the planet, but the details of this encounter are unknown.
Regardless, Hoth was one of the foremost Jedi of his era. He clashed continually with his contemporary Lord Farfalla, whose foppish nature was a directly opposed to Hoth’s pragmatism.
Unlike the charismatic Farfalla, Hoth had little time for diplomacy, nor the delicate etiquette his rank sometimes required. Where he did excel was warfare—he was a superb tactician and, even in his advanced age, a warrior without peer.
Naturally, with war against the Sith, it was Hoth who was chosen to led the forces of the Jedi and the Republic. In his youth, Hoth believed he had the power to end the Sith threat singlehandedly, but the war ground on for decades with no end in sight.
The conflict hardened Hoth against the galaxy, and, by the time of the final battle of Ruusan, the once idealistic youth had become a bitter, cynical and haggard veteran. His closest friend and main advisor was fellow veteran Pernicar, while the Jedi that served under him included notables such as General Kiel Charny
Lord Hoth perished when Lord Kaan detonated the thought bomb.
After his death, Hoth's former Padawan, Johun Othone, petitioned the Republic to construct a memorial to the Army of Light on the planet of Ruusan.
