He is the current President of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club's Charming, California mother charter . Before that, he was the Sergeant - at - Arms and later the Vice President . He is nicknamed "Chibs" because of his facial scars ("chib" is Scots slang for "street blade" or a stabbing weapon).

On his colors, he wore the following patches: "Sgt . at Arms", "V. President" (now currently replaced with "President"), "Sons of Anarchy" and like Jax, the "In Memory of Opie" patch . 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, with whom he has a fatherlike relationship, which ends after Juice's eventual betrayal of the club . </P> <P> Chibs is SAMCRO's connection with the Real IRA, which sells guns to organized crime groups within the United States .

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 . </P>
