Filip 'Chibs' Telford is the current President of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (SAMCRO) based in Charming, California, being formerly Vice President and before that Sergeant at Arms. Unlike most of the club's members who are American, he is Scottish (The Irish often refer to him as "The Scot"). He is nicknamed 'Chibs' because of his facial scars ("chib" is Scots slang for a knife or stabbing tool), which were given to him by his nemesis, Jimmy O'Phelan. He was extremely loyal to Jax, the club's former President, and appeared to be an increasingly fatherlike figure to Juice.
