You can also recruit him in Cloakwood then immediately move him somewhere convenient (friendly arms inn if you're intending to pick up Dorn later, or balder gate bridge), then cut him loose.

He'll wait around forever until you are ready to rescue Skie.

Once you go to NE Balder's gate, yeah, you have to move on his quest.
