If anything, he is more of an incidental character in WIlliam Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet." He serves as a plot device, which unintentionally foils Friar Laurence's plan for the two star-crossed lovers, and does little else in the play, only appearing in one scene toward the end of the play (Act V Scene 2)

Who was supposed to deliver Friar Laurence's letter to Romeo?

Well, that is a complicated question, because no letter like that is delivered: There was a letter to Romeo talking about the false-death plan, but it was never delivered. Friar Lawrence wrote that letter and Friar John was supposed to deliver it, but was unable to due to a quarantine. Balthasar is the one who tells Romeo that Juliet has died (although she has not... this is the false-death that she will awake from), but he just tells him; he doesn't deliver a letter.
