Following their arrival on Arc-Royal in the wake of the [[Refusal War]], [[Khan]] [[Phelan Kell]]'s newly Exiled Wolves quickly set about constructing production facilities to support [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile Touman|their ''touman'']]. Though many Exiled Wolf Warriors pushed for a heavy flagship [[OmniMech]] that would command attention from the other Clans as their first [[BattleMech]], Khan Kell pragmatically realized that a second-line machine was of more immediate usefulness as well as serving as a proof-of-concept for the new production lines, allowing problems to be identified and fixed without the risk of producing a flawed OmniMech. Showing his bias for lighter, faster designs, Khan Phelan Kell directed his scientists to create a 'Mech offering "impressive speed but with a bite. A real pack hunter."<ref name=TRO3060/>

Production of the ''Pack Hunter'' also showed the strength of the Exiled Wolves' ties to the Kell Hounds, the 'Mech carrying [[standard armor]] and communication equipment manufactured by the Hounds and purchased as part of a trade agreement for access to [[endo steel]] from an Exiled Wolf orbital factory. While the lion's share of ''Pack Hunter''s were deployed in Clan Wolf-in-Exile's second-line and garrison [[Cluster]]s as fast as they can be produced, the Kell Hounds deployed a few in their own [[regiment]]s.<ref name=TRO3060/>
