Paying tribute to other highly successful [[Clan Wolf]] designs, the '''''Blood Reaper''''' is a symbolic and straightforward second-line [[BattleMech]] in heavy use in the post-[[Jihad]] [[Clan Wolf Touman|Clan Wolf ''Touman'']].
  
Seeking to standardize his forces and weed out non-Wolf designs, [[Khan]] [[Vlad Ward]] ordered his scientists to develop a rugged yet symbolic 'Mech for warriors of Clan Wolf to rally around. A standard BattleMech in the mold of the successful ''[[Tundra Wolf]]'', the ''Blood Reaper'' first entered service in [[3079]] and went on to form a large part of the Wolves' post-Jihad ''[[touman]]''. Khan Ward overcame the stigma of a second-line machine with classic Clan posturing; by insisting that warriors truly worthy of the spirit of the Wolf would win even while being hobbled by such a design.<ref name="TRO:3085p164+"/>

Sharing a similar reverse-canted leg, energy weapon arm and missile launcher torso layout as the iconic [[Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)|''Timber Wolf'']], the ''Blood Reaper'' was built on an [[Endo Steel]] frame and uses an [[XL engine]] to save weight for a heavy weapon and armor load. Slower than most front-line [[OmniMech]]s, the ''Blood Reaper'' featured a 120 meter jump capacity to help overcome this. Eighteen [[Double Heat Sink]]s provided the design adequate endurance.<ref name="TRO:3085p164+"/>
