The hero Polaris was unable to save the day in the end, the villain the Silver Phantom got the upper hand. When a hero fails to complete the task, he creates a cycle that would not be broken until an one of the incarnations are able to succeed. The Polaris mental is passed down to the next incarnation. Bringing the knowledge from those before them, each one gets stronger and closer to success. It is Sebastian's turn to play the hero, and all the previous incarnations hope that he is the one coming to break the cycle.
