Founded in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during the first Star League, Mountain Wolf BattleMechs was a key supplier of [[BattleMech#Light|light]] BattleMechs. The ''Night Hawk'' proved so popular that the company opened a subsidiary factory in the [[Outworlds Alliance]] when the Alliance was a Star League Territory, owned and led by [[House O'Leary]].<ref name=HBMPS144>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 144: "Mountain Wolf BattleMechs Profile"</ref> A [[Free Worlds League]] raid in [[2945]] destroyed the Vendrell plant,<ref name=hbhs144>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 144</ref> and eventually the Succession Wars also severely damaged the Alpheratz facilities, and Mountain Wolf BattleMechs became a memory.
  
 
[[Michael O'Leary]]'s leadership of the company was a period of stagnation; he traveled around almost all the [[Inner Sphere]], attempting to sell his company's 'Mechs, but as he hadn't any place to build them, or the technology to make Mountain Wolf's 'Mechs, he barely managed to keep the company alive as little more than a empty shell.<ref>''Seal The Deal'' in ''Shrapnel'', issue #11, p. 207</ref>

In the early [[thirty-first century]], Michael's son, [[Brandon O'Leary]], spent much of his family's fortune to restore the Alpheratz facility. The production line there started producing a new design, the ''Merlin'' in [[3010]], and profits from their sale allowed O'Leary to restore the Vendrell plant which reopened in [[3055]].<ref name=H:HSp144/><ref name=HBMPS144/> The ''Night Hawk'' reentered production that same year, and eight years later the ''Night Hawk'' started to come off the Alpheratz production lines as well.<ref name=HBMPS144/> Despite the brisk sales after the [[FedCom Civil War]] the company was still on shaky financial ground in 3067.<ref name=H:HSp144/>

During the [[Jihad]], the Vendrell facility wasn't damaged, but in [[3079]], various supplier difficulties reduced the factory's output to 85% of its maximum output.<ref>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 4</ref> The Alpheratz factory was operating at 80% capability at this time.<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 16</ref>
