Like necromancers, liches are commonly perceived as being utterly evil and unredeemable (or if they can be redeemed, this likely would require them relinquishing their undead existence).
This is usually a choice of the individual and arranged prior to death. Lich typically surround themselves with undead minions. If the lich was a magician, they generally keep their powers. Sometime lich gain magical powers, even if they were not a magician previously.
