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.Power Man and Iron Fist #75 (November 1981)
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.The Immortal Iron Fist #11 (January 2008)
Wendell and Shakirah/Shakiri fell in love and got married, having a daughter named Miranda Rand.Iron Fist #2 (December 1975)Iron Fist #6 (August 1976) This ended up earning Wendell the enmity of the next Yu-Ti who was also in love with Shakirah.
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.Marvel Team-Up #64 (December 1977)

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.
