undead and posthumous simply can not exist together in the same article..

an undead character has managed to survive after physical death in some manner, usually a means that is seen as abominable to the natural laws.. hence why you get terms like "the Living Dead" etc.

posthumous is for characers who have physically died and never returned yet their legacy has caused ripples in their setting - an example is "you can kill a man but not his philosophy" - Hitler died, never came back, yet Nazism still exists.. hence he would be considered posthumous in a way.
