That is, except for the character of Chibs (Tommy Flanagan).
Chibs is a standout character among the rest of the club members for two main reasons.
One, his thick Scottish accent.

And two, the distinctive scars on his cheeks.

I had never been on stage in my life.
And they said, No, we love your accent!
So I just have a go at keep my character as genuine as I possibly can.
It’s one of the most brutal scenes in the show, and it was never resolved.
He said, Do you mind if I call you Chibs?
At the time, I didnt give it much thought.
Then I thought, why the fuck did I agree to that name?
Its just too personal.
The nickname was an extra personal touch on top that took Flanagan a bit to get used to.
Ive been impressed with this season.
Im happy hes finally bringing characters like mine to life.
Ive been in the background a lot.
That was tough, as an actor.
But its just the way the story has to be told.
Its nice to go out this season with a bit of a bang.
