If larsen van der grauss is your warlord can he take an adeptus mechanicus warlord trait and do you get a free ad mech relic

1) The admech warlord traits have a specific exemption for cawl but do not limit other named characters from taking one.

2) There is an exemption for named characters taking an arcana mechanicum but an adeptus mechanicus warlord can generate one for another model

Larson has adeptus mechanicus and mars as keywords but not faction keywords.

You need to give more information, especially the book it's found in. A quick Google says it's from Kill Team: Rogue Trader. IIRC you can't use Kill Team exclusive datasheets in regular 40k, so it's a moot point. If I am wrong on that and there is a rules citation that can prove otherwise, please let me know, I don't really keep up with Kill Team material.

It has a codex exclusively for normal 40k

The question was more about timing because only faction keywords count during list construction but keywords count during the game
