Johun Othone

John Othone was a Jedi Knight, and former Padawan of Lord Hoth. After the Battle of Ruusan, Othone petitioned the Jedi Council for some sort of memorial to Lord Hoth to be built on the planet Ruusan. The Council refused to participate, preferring that the world be forgotten, so Othone instead turned to the Galactic Senate, who provided him with the funds to build the memorials in the Valley of the Jedi.
