A lich is a wizard that has undergone an arcane ritual in which he or she kills him-/herself in order to gain eternal unlife. They have the spells they had in life and are not necessarily necromancers, in fact bards can also be liches.
The AD&D monsters manual states that wizards often chose to become liches in order to gain infinite time to master their crafts. This speaks against liches not levelling.
Liches need not necessarily be evil, but their undead condition usually tend to make them wretched over time.
