Fictional character biography
Summarize
Perspective
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]
