Balaq is present for the arrival of Jon Connington to the Golden Company camp near Volon Therys. He, like the other members of the company, swears himself to Aegon Targaryen prior to his invasion of Westeros.
Jon and Harry Strickland break up Balaq's command into ten groups of one hundred archers, with one company going on each boat. Six hundred archers succesfully land with the bulk of the Golden Company force on Cape Wrath, although only two hundred are needed to take Griffin's Roost. Balaq sits at the high table with Harry, Franklyn Flowers and the three Connington prisoners they took during the victor's feast.
