Sup Veeky Forums, what is the best portrayal of a Lich you've ever seen, and why is it the glorious bastard in the pic?

I actually do love Vecna, though I think I have a different favorite lich, and it's this smug bastard.

OP here. I've got to agree that Xykon is one of those rare few who rivals Vecna in my eyes. Something about him just really does it.
Maybe it's the fact that he's a Sorcerer Lich, something you don't see as often as the Wizard Liches. Makes me respect him a bit more, I guess.
Pic related, one of the best things I've ever seen. Spoilers for those who haven't read pages 650 or so of Order of the Stick.

That is my go-to evil speech when I need inspiration to come up with one of my own. Not just what he says, but the smugness and certainty with which he says it, and more importantly the calm, inevitable way in which it's delivered. Most evil speeches are fiery and passionate and basically a giant ego trip; Xykon's is certainly the last, but the tone of the speech is more one of stating a fact. He's delivering it with the same gravitas as a high school teacher talking about gravity or electromagnetism or something. What he's talking about simply IS.
Also I love how Xykon approaches the Sorcerer/Wizard thing. The wizard might be better at casting spells in the abstract, but in practice Xykon just has to keep spamming Enervation and like spells until the wizard's too level drained to meaningfully fight back

See, that's exactly why I love Xykon too. Also one of the greatest things about the OotS comic, in my opinion. They're all genre savvy, they're ALL power-gamers to some extent. And then here comes a sorcerer, and he shits all over the supposed idea that wizards are the best at arcane magic, simply because he can show you the practical power in repeatedly hitting someone with debilitating spells until they can't fight back anymore.

Was the Lichnomancer ever defeated? That thread said that Veeky Forums would train for a year and fight him again...but it has been 3 years. Does darkness still cover the land? Can the Lichnomancer ever be defeated?

Based Nagash best lich
Brayden Hughes
Nagash is good, but he didn't manage to rearrange half of the multiverse before being defeated.
At best, he's equal to Vecna, at worst, he's a Demigod.

Best lich is the lich that conquered the world because some faggots wanted to free the gays or some shit.
