[edit] Biography
Balinor's first appearance was when he came to Shady Vale after Allanon left, to warn Flick and Shea Ohmsford once again of the impending danger and of the Skull Bearers.
Afterwards, he went back to Culhaven, where he became part of the small company that would look for the Sword of Shannara. The company journeyed to Paranor, where they found the room where the Sword was being held, though it turned out the Sword wasn’t there at all, and they were trapped in the room until Allanon freed them.
After being rescued, Balinor went back to Callahorn with Durin and Dayel to command the Border Legion and to give other nations enough time to prepare for the Warlock Lord’s attack. Upon returning to Tyrsis, however, the three were seized and locked in a dungeon below the palace at Palance Buckhannah’s orders. Hendel tried to rescue them, but ended up getting trapped himself, and it was Menion Leah who freed the four later. Stenmin's treachery was exposed at that point, but he got away after murdering Palance.
Palance’s death, combined with Ruhl Buckhannah’s, made Balinor the King of Callahorn, and so he was able to reactivate the Border Legion and prepare the city for the Warlock Lord’s assault. Balinor remained King of Callahorn until his death and was considered to be the greatest king the Borderlands ever had. He was also the last Buckhannah.
