Filip "Chibs" Telford is a fictional character on the FX television series Sons of Anarchy (SOA or SAMCRO), played by Tommy Flanagan. He is nicknamed "Chibs" because of his facial scars ("chib" is Scots slang for "stab" or a stabbing weapon). (Flanagan's scars are real, received in a bar scuffle where his attackers branded him with "the Glasgow smile".) Chibs is extremely loyal to Jax Teller and the club; he also has a good relationship with Tig Trager, with Half-Sack Epps (a prospect he sponsored), and Juice Ortiz, whom he has a fatherlike relationship with, which ends after Juice's eventual betrayal of the club.
Chibs is SAMCRO's connection with the Real IRA, which sells guns to organized crime groups within the United States. He is originally from Glasgow, Scotland, but grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland and is heard speaking both Irish and Scottish Gaelic. As he tells Real IRA member Cameron Hayes, whom he patches up after Cameron is shot, Chibs served as a medic with the British Army for five months, before being court-martialed.
Chibs was excommunicated from the Real IRA by the group's leader, Jimmy O'Phelan, who out of jealousy scarred Chibs' face, told him never to return to Ireland, stole Chibs' wife Fiona Larkin (who, as shown in Season 2 remains married to and still loves, but is estranged from Chibs), and raised Chibs and Fiona's daughter, Kerrianne. Chibs then joined SAMBEL in Ireland, until he transferred to SAMCRO in the United States, whose Charming charter has Real IRA links via the club's Belfast charter.
