The Yu-Ti Lord Tuan and his son Nu-An dwelt in the shining tower of K'un-L'un looking over the peace of their realm and watching the other dimensions through the emerald Great Crystal. Lord Tuan and Nu-An wandered outside the city where they encounter Shou-Lao who prepared to attack them. Wendell Rand from Earth suddenly arrived on K'un-L'un and drove Shou-Lao away with a rifle.
Nu-An adopted Wendell Rand into his house as his adopted son. Nu-An was present as the new Yu-Ti where he puts his arms around Wendell Rand showing him preference over Davos.
Wendell fell in love with Shakirah/Shakiri and ended up marrying her (and fathering a daughter named Miranda Rand). This ended up earning Wendell the enmity of the future Yu-Ti who was also in love with Shakirah.
Nu-An helped Wendell into preparing his uniform as he was readied for combat against Davos for the right to challenge Shou-Lao. Nu-An stood silently as Davos accused Lord Tuan of favoritism after he pronounced Wendell the winner. Nu-An also stood silently as Lord Tuan banished Davos from K'un-L'un for challenging Shou-Lao without his permission.
Nu-An watched alongside Tu-An and Lei Kung as Wendell Rand headed off to fight Shou-Lao.
Ten years after Wendell had saved Lord Tuan and Nu-An, Wendell returned to Earth as Nu-An watched.
As the Steel Serpent, Davos traveled to K'un-L'un on two separate occasions of its every ten year appearance on Earth. Both times, Davos has challenged Nu-An and lost.
When Lord Tuan died and became the first among the Yama Kings of Feng-Tu, his son Nu-An became the new Yu-Ti.
Nu-An later welcomed a 10-Year-Old Danny Rand to K'un-L'un granting him a rewarding stay and expressed his grief over Danny's parents. When Nu-An told Danny that he can have whatever he wanted, Danny told Nu-An that he wanted revenge. Nu-An told Danny that revenge is the one thing he can't give to Danny. He did offer to have Danny trained in the arts of Kung Fu.
