Fictional character biography

The Yu-Ti Lord Tuan dwelt with his son Nu-An in the shining tower in the realm of K'un-L'un with which they can observe the peace in their realm and watch other dimensions using the emerald known as the Great Crystal. Lord Tuan and Nu-An went wandering outside the city and encountered Shou-Lao who tried to attack them. A man from Earth named Wendell Rand suddenly arrived on K'un-L'un and drove Shou-Lao away with a rifle. [1]

Tuan adopted Wendell Rand as his son and took him into his house. Nu-An was present as the new Yu-Ti where he puts his arms around Wendell Rand showing him preference over Davos. [2]

Wendell and Shakirah/Shakiri fell in love and got married, having a daughter named Miranda Rand. [3] [4] This ended up earning Wendell the enmity of the next Yu-Ti who was also in love with Shakirah. [1] [4]

Nu-An helped Wendell into preparing his uniform as he was got ready to fight Davos and earn the right to make a challenge to Shou-Lao. Nu-An watched silently as Davos accused Lord Tuan of favoritism when he declared Wendell the winner. Nu-An also stood silently as Tuan exiled Davos from K'un-L'un because he challenged Shou-Lao without his permission. [5]

Lord Tuan dies and becomes the first of the Yama Kings of Feng-Tu, with his son Nu-An becoming the new Yu-Ti. [6] Nu-An mentors Wendell Rand's son Danny Rand, also known as Iron Fist. [7] [8] [9] [10]

Powers and abilities

Nu-An has some degree of combat skill. Apparently, he is immune to aging due to him eating a fruit from the Tree of Immortality.

Yü-Ti appears in the second season of Iron Fist , portrayed by James Saito. [11]
